  It is our people who give meaning to our 4 core values. We are very fortunate to have staff who share our passion for delivering the highest quality product and who are dedicated to serving our customers. We like to think it's a response to the way we treat our people at Intergrow. We encourage team building activities among our staff and strive to live by our philosophy of people, planet, profit.
To pass on our responsible, sustainable growing methods to the next generation of young growers, we started an intern program to provide a fundamental, working understanding of the greenhouse business. |
