The Midweek Program
"Plant Hormones: an Overview"
Evan Villani, Research Technician
- Wednesday, June 17, 2026 — 3 pm - 4 pm
Ever wondered how plants grow? Ever taken it that step further and wondered how professional growers control plant growth to ensure rooting, flowering, and well-branched shoots, all at the correct time? Join Evan for an overview of plant hormones, both how they occur in nature to affect the growth of the plants you encounter everyday, but also how they can be optimized in controlled environments and intentionally applied to maximize production and impact.
Between the theoretical exploration of the science, and the real-world examples Evan shares that tie these things back to your own garden, you won't want to miss this opportunity to deepen your understanding and appreciation for all the little greeny-growies in your life.
