“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.”

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