| Greenhouse
Manager
Greenhouse managers oversee the work of few to several
greenhouses and support structures and facilities. A greenhouse
operation generally consists of several greenhouses, cold frames,
equipment sheds, offices, shipping facilities, storage facilities,
and etc.
The greenhouse industry is defined as the growing and marketing
of bedding plants, flowering potted plants, cut flowers, and foliage
plants. While many of these crops can be and are grown outdoors,
more often than not they are produced in the protective structure
of a greenhouse.
A greenhouse manager is the person responsible for the growing of
plants that may be sold locally or distributed around the state,
nation or world. Their products may be sold retail at the greenhouses
or sold wholesale to supermarkets, flower shops, or lawn and gardening
stores. Sometimes greenhouse operations are involved in both retail
and wholesale businesses.
