🌱2021 HOA CONFERENCE SPEAKER ANNOUNCEMENT 🌱⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Paul is one of our favorite Virginia locals. We did a video on his incredible family greenhouse nursery business last year, and it was such a fun tour! Check it out on our Youtube channel. We are so excited to welcome Paul as a 2021 speaker!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
TOPIC:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Homestead Greenhouse—From Pop up to High Tunnel⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌿 Here's a little more about Paul:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Paul grew up on a hobby farm, and from an early age his parents immersed him in the care of vegetables, fruits, and chickens. His parents were innovative and hard-working weekend homesteaders, growing all the normal crops plus a pick-your-own blueberry patch, persimmons, pawpaws, heart-nuts, and sorghum (molasses). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
He received a Bachelor of Science in Horticulture from Virginia Tech, with a focus on crop production in protected environments. (Fancy talk for growing plants in greenhouses!). Since 2012, he has operated the family greenhouse operation, Windmill Heights Garden Center, located in Culpeper, Virginia. Together with his team of awesome employees, they grow over 200,000 vegetable transplants for local gardeners. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Paul's small urban homestead is home to 12 chickens, a small vegetable garden, and a fig bush. In his free time, he enjoys making compost, reading seed catalogs, saving seeds from heirloom vegetables, and propagating plants of all kinds.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
