Growers Supply opens Tech Center East

SOUTH WINDSOR, Conn. — Growers Supply has expanded its South Windsor, Conn. location to include Tech Center East, an innovative facility designed to offer a first-hand look at some of the latest techniques in controlled environment agriculture.

 

Tech Center East is an educational center on the East Coast, and is modeled after Growers Supply’s Dyersville, Iowa location. Tech Center East will provide visitors the opportunity to see products in use and to discover how the company can provide both the products and the expertise needed to design a complete controlled environment growing system.

 

In addition to serving as a showcase for its latest products, Tech Center East will host a series of Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) Schools. These three-day workshops will cover topics including hydroponic growing, hydroponic fodder and aquaponics. These educational workshops, hosted by Growers Supply’s resident experts on each topic, are designed to assist those who are interested in growing with a controlled environment. Outside experts on each topic will also be present, providing information and educating attendees about how different systems will perform and work in specific applications.

 

Tech Center East will host its first CEA School Nov. 6 to Nov. 8. The first day will highlight hydroponic systems; the second day features information on hydroponic fodder systems; and the third day will be an introduction and informational session about aquaponics. Those in attendance will receive a packet of information for each day, information and contact information for speakers. There is a registration fee of $495 per person that will be returned in company credit upon the purchase of a complete growing system.
