Economic Gardening is an entrepreneurial approach to economic development designed to grow and nurture existing companies, SBDC said.

Economic Gardening programs revolve around finding the second-stage companies that are positioned and poised for rapid growth.

"We are excited to offer these services that might otherwise be out of reach for the small to mid-sized business owners," said Kelly Manning, SBDC state director.

"This has proven to be a great tool for spurring innovation and growth across the state."
