Avery County Campus

Greenhouse production began at the Avery County site in July of 2003.
This site boasts a fully automated production greenhouse that
measures 66 by 96 feet. It has the space to house almost 18,000 plants
in gallon size pots. Liners are produced at the Yancey/Mitchell site. Some of the liners come to Avery to be grown on for sale as gallon size plants.

A micropropagation laboratory is located at Mayland Community College. Micropropagation is a technique for clonally reproducing plants. The lab allows us to experiment in the tissue culture process with native plants that are difficult to propagate using conventional methods.
