The 2025 Canadian Greenhouse Conference, which took place on October 8-9 at Niagara Falls Convention Centre, was built around the theme of Harvesting Resilience, was a fantastic opportunity to connect with industry leaders, growers, and innovators from across the horticultural sector. We were thrilled to engage with so many attendees who share our commitment to advancing sustainable, science-driven solutions for Canadian greenhouse production.

A highlight of the event was our ‘Ask an Expert’ campaign, which encouraged attendees to speak directly with research
specialists on our team and explore how Vineland’s research can help address real-world industry challenges. The conversations sparked throughout the event reinforced the power of collaboration and the shared dedication to driving the
industry forward.
We were proud to have two Vineland experts present at this year’s conference:
-
Dr. Alexandra Grygorczyk
Vineland’s Research Scientist, Sensory & Consumer Services, shared insights into how consumer preferences influence product development and market success.
-
Dr. Rose Buitenhuis
Vineland’s Director, Biological Crop Protection, discussed innovations in biological pest control and strategies for more resilient growing systems.
