The National Foliage Foundation, administered by the Florida Nursery, Growers and Landscape Association, provides financial support for the foliage-nursery industry through scholarships for careers in horticulture or agricultural and research grants for marketing, production, pest management, distribution/transportation and enhancement of foliage plants solutions.

The National Foliage Foundation is one of the leading non-profit funding sources for foliage research and educational programs in the United States.

Graduate Assistance: The newest component of the Foundation’s efforts is the graduate assistantship program started with the University of Florida. It becomes NFF’s bridge from education to additional research.     Research: One of the primary objectives of the National Foliage Foundation (NFF) is to fund research projects that have potential for enhancing development of the foliage industry and increasing enjoyment of plants used indoors.     Industry Support: Since 1987, with the support of dedicated industry members, NFF has continued to grow and provide answers to questions through research and education.     Scholarships: NFF supports educational programs that will attract young people to the nursery and landscape industry so that they will become a part of the solution to future industry challenges.
