GROUP: household plantings (hp)
DEFINITION: household & individually-managed ornamental plantings, may have (<10m) turfgrass patches and a limited amount of agriculture/horticulture. Must be <75% agricultural area in terms of cultivated area (not perennial canopy cover). This includes household yards, grave area plantings, and other plantings by households or individuals that are not planned for production uses. To be considered a household planting, there must be clear evidence of private land ownership or management, such as vegetation management associated with houses, or by private fences, edging, hedgerows, or walls. USE = Ornamental. This GROUP does NOT include >10m plantings planned for harvest or extraction, though it may include <75% area of agriculture or vegetation harvest.
