Our Advisors

in landscaping, organic farming, environmental science, small business

to guide the development of the nursery. In 2003, the Advisory Board assisted
APC in the preparation of a business plan that was entered in a national
competition sponsored by the Yale School of Management. The Ploughshares
Nursery placed in the top 20 nationwide, out of more than 500 plans submitted.
