Westcott Greenhouses and Gardens
The horticulture greenhouses and gardens support instruction received in the classroom. In addition, the greenhouses and gardens provide excellent opportunities in student work and community service.
The greenhouses include a 42' x 96' Dutch Venlo Greenhouse with a 21' x 36' attached headhouse, a 28' x 48' Quonset greenhouse, and a 28' x 36' Quonset shade house. The greenhouses, as well as additional outdoor growing areas, facilitate the Berry Horticultural Services. Students and community volunteers make up the team of workers, and are involved in every aspect of quality plant production for campus and community use.
The gardens cover approximately six acres surrounding the Westcott building and the greenhouses. Student workers are involved in all areas of public gardening from design through installation and maintenance. The gardens are also used in the testing of plant material for campus use.
Horticulture Services are open to the public Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, and the gardens are open the same hours as the campus (daylight to twilight). Visitors are welcomed.
The Technician for the Westcott Greenhouses and Gardens is Mrs. Andrea Jones. To contact the Westcott Greenhouses and Gardens or the Technician please call 706-238-7454.
