The Teaching Greenhouse

The Teaching Greenhouse (TGH) is located on the 5th floor of the University of Toronto Mississauga Davis Building, where it serves as a dynamic space for both educational purposes, offering students a hands-on environment for cultivating plants and exploring sustainable growing practices. The greenhouse is home to a 400+ plant species including mosses, succulents, ferns, herbs, flowering plants, and more! If you have a green thumb, or want to learn how you can develop one, enroll in some Biology courses that use the Teaching Greenhouse!
