Abstract/Contents: | Discusses consumer preferences for ornamental grass, suggesting that "landscape consumers are making their choices in an environment with instant global access to information, infomercials, and the products themselves." Explains that "identifying consumer preferences for particular characteristics of ornamental grasses may help promote their use." Profiles a "multi-faceted consumer preference study" at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln (UNL). States that "goals of the project include identifying for breeders and suppliers specific characteristics preferred by consumers, and developing more effective education strategies promoting the purchase and appropriate uses of ornamental grasses." |
