Comprehensive Resource

AERGC is the single largest, most comprehensive resource of information and collaboration on horticulture, facilities management, product information, networking. The collective experience would fill volumes.

- Paul Engevold

THE COMMUNITY

AERGC is a community where professionals doing the same niche work can find connection and support. Greenhouse managers at institutes are usually working alone, without a natural peer group at their institution. This leads to a feeling of professional isolation. Within AERGC, you are never alone.

THE ANNUAL MEETING

An in-person meeting hosted annually by a member's institution in the US or Canada. The meeting is small enough to get to know everyone over three days of seminars and tours. A free plant swap is a highlight at each annual meeting.
