FAQ
What work fits NAICS 111421?

- Produce and deliver bare-root seedlings for reforestation or restoration projects with nursery grading, root protection, and seasonal delivery aligned to planting windows.
- Provide ornamental shrubs and perennial plant stock with species labels, provenance documentation, and containerized handling appropriate for transplanting.
