Details
Join the OAC Liaison Program for a hands-on professional development workshop designed to help high school educators make the most of their greenhouses!
Hosted at the University of Guelph’s Bovey Greenhouse, this interactive session will cover essential greenhouse management skills — from the fundamentals of plant growth environments to pest management and crop timing for successful growing seasons.
Participants will gain practical insights and techniques that can be applied directly in the classroom and school greenhouse settings.
The workshop will be facilitated by Rodger Tschanz, Greenhouse Technician in the Department of Plant Agriculutre, who brings extensive experience in plant production and educational outreach.
An agenda and additional event details will be shared closer to the event date.
In addition, teachers will learn more about post-secondary plant and horticulture programs to share with their students, including:
- Bachelor of Science in Plant Science
- Bachelor of Science in Agriculture majoring in Crop Science
- Bachelor of Science in Agriculture majoring in Horticulture
Educators joining us on campus will receive educational resources, as well as a University of Guelph viewbook, program brochures, and OAC merchandise!
