About the Summer School

The Plant Empowerment philosophy is a proven approach that helps growers worldwide achieve outstanding results while using fewer resources. Ready to optimize your growing results and boost yields per square meter? Join a select group of 15 experienced growers and take the first step toward a more sustainable greenhouse.

The Plant Empowerment Summer School is an exclusive 5-day Masterclass in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, designed to guide you through all aspects of the philosophy.

Take that first step

During the Summer School, you will gain in-depth knowledge of Plant Empowerment through theoretical lessons. To strengthen the practical approach, you will also visit growers on-site, where they will share their insights. Our goal is to equip you with the tools needed to apply this knowledge to your own growing needs. Throughout the week, you will be mentored by experts and gain the expertise needed to grow in a more profitable and sustainable way.

“No matter your age, your background or your location, I can recommend the Plant Empowerment Summer School to everyone. Despite being a five-day course, the intensity was balanced by the open and light-hearted atmosphere. And I know it can be difficult for growers to make time for themselves and leave their greenhouse in someone else’s hands while they’re away, but it’s 100% worth it. There’s a new way of growing out there, and the smartest thing to do is get on board that bus as soon as possible.”

Paula Rico Silva, Plantanova in Michoacán, Mexico

“Definitely do it! A world of knowledge that you can implement immediately and make a difference.”

“There was a very good atmosphere, and it was interesting to meet growers of various crops from different countries and to hear about their challenges and approaches. But most importantly for us, it provided a useful introduction to all the different plant balances and how to use that knowledge to tackle various problems.”

Krisztian Czibula, AGROTREND Kolárovo s.r.o. Slovakia

“We all shared an eagerness to progress our knowledge by challenging ourselves and one another, which led to some stimulating high-energy discussions. The focus was on sharing knowledge as peers, not competitors, and there was no need to feel embarrassed about asking questions. The atmosphere was very supportive and interactive, thanks not least to the experienced, engaging and approachable presenters.”

Wade Mann, Family Fresh Farms, Australia
