Florida’s green industry, encompassing landscaping, lawn care, nurseries, and organic farming, contributed a $42 billion economic impact in 2023, according to a report from Farm Credit of Central Florida and the Florida Nursery, Growers and Landscape Association.
The industry supports 279,000 jobs and $14 billion in labor income. Since 2011, employment in landscape services has grown by 43%, adding around 30,000 jobs. This growth is largely attributed to the state’s rapidly expanding population, which has increased by 1.8 million people since 2020.
