Garden center management has professionalized in recent years as garden
centers have become more highly-developed retail operations. Many
students of horticulture are expected to go into retail management and
so the topic has increasingly appeared on the further education
curriculum. This book is equally targeted at students, garden center
managers and professional courses in garden center management. It
provides a practical approach backed up by management theory. The text
covers consumer behavior, staff management, stock management, marketing
and productivity.
