The Niagara College Teaching Greenhouse is an educational greenhouse serviced by students of Niagara College’s horticultural programs.
The Teaching Greenhouse is located at the Niagara College’s Daniel J. Patterson campus in picturesque Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario. The 125-acre campus is located in the heart of Canada’s expanding greenhouse industry and serves as a living lab for students, including Ontario’s largest training greenhouse, container and field nursery operations, and on-site greenhouse equipment. Students cultivate plants of many varieties year round that are sold to the public and used to beautify the campus. All plants are grown by students and all plant sale revenues are used to support the educational programs at Niagara College.
