Video Spotlight: Dr. A and PanAmerican Seed Collaborate for Charity

By Nick Matysik|September 29, 2025

Greenhouse Grower occasionally highlights a video that shines a spotlight on the controlled-environment industry, from crop protection advice to insider views on plant production at greenhouse operations across the country. Have you recently produced a video that you want us to highlight? If so, please send a link to Greenhouse Grower Multimedia Specialist Nick Matysik at [email protected].

In light of the fight against downy mildew disease in the impatiens market, PanAmerican Seed is shining a spotlight on charitable organizations within the floriculture community. In an effort to support other floriculture causes through persistence, PanAmerican Seed has pledged to donate to a charity each gardening season and to help amplify their messages. For 2025, through Beacon Impatiens, PanAmerican Seed collaborated with Greenhouse Grower‘s Dr. Allan Armitage, bringing attention to esp Inc. (formerly Extra Special People Inc.), a nonprofit in the Georgia region of the U.S. that creates transformative experiences for people with disabilities and their families.
