Growing Plants for Retail Success

Webinar

Grower Panel: Growing Plants for Retail Success

Join moderator Jack Bobo from Berger for a wide-ranging discussion with Andrew Butler of Green Valley Greenhouses in Ramsey, Minnesota, and Mike Busch of Meyers Farms in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario. The conversation will explore how today’s substrate choices — including mixes incorporating wood fiber — can strengthen root development, improve moisture management, and enhance overall plant resilience.

They’ll share practical insights drawn directly from their own production systems, highlighting what works, what doesn’t, and how these materials behave from propagation all the way through retail. You’ll come away with real-world strategies for growing plants that hold their quality long after they leave the greenhouse.

1:00 PM Eastern – 12:00 PM Central
