Greenhouse Grower to Grower Podcast: The Bright Future of Horticulture Education (Part Two)

By Brian D. Sparks|July 14, 2024

Greenhouse Grower has entered the world of podcasts with the launch of our new “Greenhouse Grower to Grower” series. In the podcast, which will be delivered every other week, we talk to growers from across the controlled-environment industry about market trends, innovation, their biggest challenges and opportunities, and more.

Greenhouse Grower’s July cover story features a closer look at how university horticulture departments from across the country are attracting new blood to the industry while fostering career development. I had the chance to talk to six department heads about a wide range of topics, and the conversations were so informative that there was no way for me to include all of their input in one article. So we’re using this podcast as a way to offer extended versions of these conversations. In this episode, you’ll first hear from Dr. Justin Moss, Department Head and Professor at Oklahoma State University’s Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture. Following that, I talk to Dr. Neil Anderson, Professor and Interim Head of the Department of Horticultural Science at the University of Minnesota.

You can listen to the episode here, or you can find it wherever you listen to podcasts. We hope you enjoy it!
