The nursery advisory committee was established to advise the director regarding the administration of the nursery inspection program. A surcharge of 20% is assessed on fees collected by nursery retailer licenses for the purpose of creating a nursery research fund. These fees are used solely to support research projects which are of general benefit to the nursery industry and are recommended by the nursery advisory committee. The committee consists of nine members representing the interests of licensed nursery dealers and the nursery industry.

Each year the nursery advisory committee awards funding to support research that benefits the Washington State nursery industry. In 2012, ten projects were granted funding for the 2013 fiscal year for a total amount of $122,042. These projects are listed below. Click on the project number or title to access each project's proposal. After the end of the fiscal year (June 30, 2013) each project's final report can be obtained by contacting our office at (360) 902-1922.
