Nursery and Greenhouse production is associated with which region?

• A. Midwest
• B. Southeast
• C. Northeast
• D. Great Plains

Answer: (B)

Nursery and greenhouse production thrives where conditions support year‑round propagation and sales while keeping heating and operating costs manageable. The Southeast fits this best because its mild winters and longer growing season make it easier—and often cheaper—to run greenhouses and grow nursery crops year after year. States in this region, like Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas, have well-developed horticulture industries and are close to dense markets on the East Coast, which helps distribution and demand. In contrast, the Midwest and Northeast deal with colder winters that raise heating costs and can limit year‑round greenhouse activity, and the Great Plains is drier and windier, making large-scale greenhouse production more challenging. So the Southeast is the region most closely associated with nursery and greenhouse production.
