Join us for What’s Growin’ On, 2026, Vineland Research and Innovation Centre’s annual community open house.

This year, explore how innovation in the commercial greenhouse sector is helping secure Canada’s food supply. Guests will take part in interactive, expert-led stops across the Vineland campus and learn about greenhouse production, enabling technologies, greenhouse waste repurposing, and pest identification and management.

Come see the research in action, meet Vineland experts and discover how science and innovation are supporting a stronger, more resilient Canadian food system.
