US (NC): No pesticides for manager of self-sustaining Kresge Greenhouse
The facility does that, but there's more than meets the eye going on in this 2,250-square-foot glasshouse due in no small part to the energy and enthusiasm of greenhouse manager Jennifer Messer. She started managing the greenhouse seven and a half years ago after completing her masters of environmental science degree at UNCW.
Messer's master's thesis is a sustainable greenhouse management process that can be used in state-run facilities and commercial greenhouses. She has spoken to the Hobby Greenhouse Club and other plant societies around Wilmington, sharing information that helps homeowners use principles of sustainability in their own smaller home greenhouses.
