Part of the role of The National Precision Growing Centre is to educate both industry practitioners as well as the wider public in how precision growing is undertaken.
This week we had a diverse range of visitors from those with a hobby background in horticulture, right up to one of the leading exponents of precision growing.
We firstly welcomed 34 members of the Springvale Garden Club to observe first hand how a commercial glasshouse operates. The group recieved an explanation of both climate and irrigation management from staff member Tony Bundock, whilst our trainee Sara Nour, gave a guided tour around the crop growing area.
The group finished their tour with an opportunity to buy some of our wonderful fresh tomatoes!
At the other end of the scale, we welcomed Grodan's Andy Lee to Cranbourne this week as he tours Australian as part of his customer support program. As ever, Andy was a wealth of knowledge and gave us some great guidance in terms of crop and climate management strategies.
