Welcome to the Managing the School Greenhouse Resource
This site with be a great resource on fully utilizing the school greenhouse and it will be the home of the "Managing the High School Greenhouse" class at Kansas State University. The modules for the online class are listed on the class page. Some pages have the content for more than one module.

The course is not intended to make you a commercial greenhouse manager. It is intended to provide strategies on greenhouse facilities and equipment, growing a variety of greenhouse crops, and making the greenhouse a good learning environment for your students. Many links will be provided and you will have notes and PowerPoint presentations on many topics. If you have any questions you may contact me at Clark R. Harris .
