Danielle Crouse, Grow Space Design and Greenhouse Operation, specializes in optimizing the growing conditions in passive solar greenhouses. She has growing experience in both conventional and passive solar greenhouses. She can help you design a grow space to best fit your needs. For beginning growers, she helps with plant propagation, pest and disease identification and management solutions. She provides guidance in SunCatcher climate control as SunCatchers differ from traditional greenhouses in their climate management. Danielle is a graduate of Appalachian State University, where she first became interested in Environmental Studies, a path that lead her to agricultural practices and greenhouses. She has been an apprentice of Dr. Carroll’s in the development and progression of SunCatchers for ten years.
