UTIA's greenhouses are a cornerstone of hands-on learning and discovery, supporting student experiential education, problem-solving research, and community-serving Extension and outreach activities every day. As demand for these greenhouse-related programs continues to grow, so does the need for dedicated, skilled care to keep these spaces running smoothly and safely for everyone who relies on them.
That care comes from our full-time Greenhouse Caretaker, whose role is currently supported in part by UT AgResearch funds and philanthropic gifts. This talented caretaker serves UTIA's mission with dedication and distinction, maintaining the greenhouses so students can gain real-world experience, researchers can pursue breakthrough discoveries, and Extension programs can continue serving communities across Tennessee.
Your gift to the Greenhouse Caretaker Fund directly supports this essential position, ensuring UTIA can retain the expertise and commitment needed to keep our greenhouses thriving. By investing in this role, you help sustain the daily operations that make student learning, agricultural research, and outreach possible, creating a direct and lasting impact on the people and programs that depend on these spaces. Support the Greenhouse Caretaker Fund today and help us keep this vital work growing.
