Now You Can Share Current Information with Other Growers

Join the VA Greenhouses Listserve!!!

The VA Greenhouses listserve is an email discussion group, to provide a convenient and rapid way to communicate your questions, problems, comments, and warnings with other greenhouse operators. The listserve is a free service provided by the Virginia Tech. Subscribing is easy and you will receive the posted messages automatically once you subscribe.

Messages sent to the VA Greenhouses listserve will be distributed automatically to all subscribers to the list. If a subscriber wishes to reply to a  message from the listserve, a reply sent to the listserve address will be sent to all subscribers on the list. The listserve is not moderated. In other words, messages are automatically sent out to subscribers soon after they are received at the server.

The value of the listserve depends on the contributions sent to it by subscribers. You are encouraged to participate by posting items of interest to others and by replying to messages from other subscribers. This may include information, questions, answers and discussions on greenhouse systems, pest control, equipment, environmental control systems, operating tips, current events, greenhouse design, or plant culture. Don’t forget to post announcements of Open Houses, Field Days, tours, or other educational programs.
