Welcome to Horticultural/Natural Resources
Ohio State University Extension here in Lake County provides an information portal for businesses in the green industry-- nurseries, landscapers, garden centers, and turf care professionals. We also provide important current and emerging issues pertaining to natural resources. Lake County works closely with Cuyahoga and Lorain Educators to generate programming for all three counties.
