U.C. Davis Takes a Summer Field Trip

This summer our test greenhouse was visited by a class from University of California, at Davis. The students and their professor visited to learn about our newest technology. The group was very diverse, with students from around the globe. Their professor wanted to show them the heart of the hydroponics industry, and brought them to meet with our greenhouse operators and the founder of General Hydroponics, Lawrence Brooke. I had a blast chatting with them all, talking about everything from biology and growth testing to the specific individual manufactured pieces of our latest systems. The students were curious and enthusiastic, and knowledgeable in their own right.

Our biologist and greenhouse operator had one on one time with the students.

The professor and a student hear about stats from Terry.

Everyone learned something, and the visit was as fun as it was informative!

Every time I hear the phrase “test greenhouse” it makes me want one :) I guess for now I will have to live with my test growbox
