The Integrated Pest Management practices at two successful growing operations will be on display during this year's Grower Tour before the SAF Pest Management Conference February 28-March 1 in Atlanta.

Participants will see what's happening at Rambo Nursery's 60-acre site in Paulding County, Ga., and at Southland Greenhouse in Akworth, Ga. Rambo is a wholesale nursery specializing in annuals. It operates more than 260,000 square feet of heated greenhouses, 10 acres of outside production area and an on-site Sales Center. Southland's wholesale nursery operation specializes in ornamental blooming plants and features an indoor greenhouse that covers 4 acres, focusing on mums, azaleas, Easter lilles, hydrangeas and poinsettias.

The Grower Tour costs $50, which includes transportation sponsored by Greenhouse Grower magazine and a box lunch.
