Connecticut plans garden trail promotion

Connecticut Nursery & Landscape Association (CNLA) and the Connecticut Greenhouse Growers Association are creating the Connecticut Garden Trail.

The marketing campaign will direct visitors to garden centers, greenhouses, nurseries and landscapers in the state with the help of a map and a Web site. The plan is fashioned after the state’s wine trail.

The campaign will be partially funded by a two-year, $30,000 federal specialty crop grant from the state’s agriculture department.
