The 2025 Greenhouse Best Management Practices workshop will be held October 2 at Estabrook’s new facility in Pownal, ME from 9:00 AM to 4:15 PM. This state-of-the-art greenhouse will provide an inspiring backdrop for a full day of training covering weed management, common greenhouse arthropod pests and biocontrol, pesticide product selection and updates on regulations, and a panel discussion on updating and building greenhouse facilities. Attendees will hear from experienced growers and specialists, with plenty of time for questions and discussion.
Approved for 4 pesticide recertification credits, the program is designed to give greenhouse and nursery professionals practical tools to improve operations and stay current with best practices. The $25 registration fee includes morning coffee and refreshments; please bring your own lunch. Pre-register to be the first to hear when online registration opens!
Community Service Project:
Each year requests are submitted to our organization to request our expertise in landscaping a particular locale. It is our difficult task to choose a project deserving of our attention. Once chosen, a landscape is designed, plants and materials are donated by our membership in a coordinated effort, and we descend upon the site for the installation. It is an amazing to see a site transformed so quickly by many experienced hands. Equipment and materials quickly move about, completing the project many times in a matter of hours. The camaraderie amongst the workers is a true draw on the day for many. If you haven’t had the experience, we encourage you to become involved – you will be in awe of what we can do!
