We are excited to invite you to a special behind-the-scenes tour of Algonquin College’s Horticultural Industries Program and its impressive green spaces – gardens, greenhouses, and sustainable infrastructure – all on its Ottawa campus.

This visit is part of Canadensis’ ongoing outreach and relationship-building with the local horticultural and educational community. As we move forward with plans to create Canada’s National Botanical Garden, it’s essential we connect with the future leaders of horticulture – the students, educators, and researchers shaping the field today.

Led by Program Coordinator, Professor Tommy Wingreen and Professor Jason Vodden, this guided tour will showcase:

🌿 The Horticulture Gardens, with ponds, plant collections, and edible gardens
🌿 The stunning five-storey Green Wall in the Algonquin Centre for Construction Excellence
🌿 The cutting-edge greenhouse complex, where students practice plant propagation and learn about sustainable lighting systems

The Horticultural Industries program is a leading hands-on diploma that prepares students for careers in landscape design, nursery management, urban food production, and more. These are the very skills and disciplines that will help shape and sustain Canadensis in the years to come.
