ABSTRACT
The New Jersey Department of Corrections has awarded a $90,000.00 grant to Rutgers University-Cook College to develop specialized training for youth correctional programs. The objective is for participants to gain horticultural skills and ultimately be trained and employable. Potential employers include all facets of the green industry-florists, landscapers, garden centers, nurseries, sports turf managers, parks and shade tree departments, and interior plantscapers.
