Here is a little peek behind the scenes of some prep work that happens during the winter months here at Metrolina Greenhouses. It takes a lot of work from all our teams to get ready for upcoming Spring season!

Our R&D lab is always working to improve the quality of the plants we grow! By taking a closer look at root samples, we can be proactive in identifying plant pathogens or harmful insects. Metrolina is always striving to produce the best plants in the business! #behindthescenes

Have you ever wondered how we deliver so many plants to so many stores? We own 323 truck trailers and during our peak season we will load and ship on average 160 trailers a night! These trucks then transport fresh plants to stores within a 500 mile radius. #grownfreshforyou

During our Spring season, we ship out an average of 350,000 hanging baskets per week! Most of these baskets hang in our overhead growing space while they mature into beautiful plants. #getoutandgrow #grownfreshforyou #aroundthegreenhouse

Another important task our MGH lab performs is to test the PH of soil samples weekly. Every grower will bring the lab samples to test and we also test all new soil samples before it is used for production. This is another way for us to monitor the soil and overall plant health.

We capture about 5 million gallons of water for every inch of rain. The filtration shown here converts recaptured water back into clean water for the next watering schedule. #aroundthegreenhouses #waterrecapture #reducereuserecycle
