We are currently making plans to construct a Plant Science Laboratory at our school, a community college in Seattle. The plans are to have a two greenhouses, gutter connected and providing about 1,800 square feet of space. It will be constructed on a 10,000 square feet of property near the school.
I am wondering if there are any publications that discuss the management of an educational greenhouse at the CUH library. Also, are there any newsletters, websites or other materials you are able to recommend?
The bulk of our books on greenhouses focus on either commercial growing or home hobbyist. We have some back issues of the journal GM Pro, also known as Greenhouse Management and Production, which has a commercial focus.
I searched the Garden Literature Index (of journals) and didn’t find anything too promising on actual management. I recommend you try talking with some of your colleagues at the local colleges that have horticulture programs:
Lake Washington Institute of Technology
And here is a link to a college in Ontario, Canada – Niagara College – that is doing something similar to what you describe.
