You'll find ornamentals in greenhouses, landscapes, interiorscapes, homes, lawns, golf courses, athletic fields, parks, cemeteries, sod farms and nurseries. Ornamental plants are grown for both aesthetic and functional value.
Indoor plants create a warm environment and freshen the air.
Landscape trees and shrubs enhance property values and can provide wind breaks, sun shade and privacy. IPM programs should preserve both the beauty and function of ornamental plants with a minimum of pesticide use and risks. IPM can be applied to ornamental plants wherever they're grown and for whatever use. Weekly scouting is a good practice. Keep detailed records of what you find.
