Ever-Green Greenhouses

Ever-Green Greenhouses



Ever-Green Greenhouses was started 35 years ago by Brian, an Olds College graduate. This greenhouse focuses on mass production for the big box stores, such as Walmart and Canadian Tire. Balancing quality, efficiency, and mass production are the key to Brian's success.  During this time of year Ever-Green Greenhouses is growing poinsettias and preparing for spring.







The EC and pH are carefully monitored to achieve optimal growth. Acid and fertilizer are also watched added for their benefits. Safety is always very important when dealing with any chemicals in the greenhouse. It is highly recommended that you have procedures in place. 





When you are growing large quantities of any crop it is very important to monitor for bugs and other plant health problems that could be detrimental to your success. This year Ever-Green Greenhouses has had problems with stem rot, wiping out over 900 plants. This problem stems back to the transplants being planted too deep. 



Every week the poinsettias are measured for height and they change out the bug cards. 



Holy Mass Production!



Nice pots!
