It's one of the most recession-vulnerable industries around. Some people would say it's recession-proof because if things got bad enough people would start growing their own food. True enough, but the majority of that business is in the sale of decorative plants--which are luxury items. Any business that deals primarily in luxuries is going to be hard hit if things get bad enough.
