Research

The UCSC Greenhouses provide provide research support for faculty, post docs, researchers, visiting faculty, graduate, and undergraduate students doing plant-related research in the departments of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, and Environmental Studies. Research space at our plant growth facilities is reservable by request on a recharge basis. Contact greenhouse staff to discuss availability and suitability of these facilities for your research.

Before requesting space in the research greenhouses, please review our recharge rates for campus-affiliated researchers and the Researchers Guide to Using the Greenhouses. Then submit a Space Request Form and contact greenhouse staff (greenhouse@ucsc.edu) to discuss your research needs.

Undergraduate and graduate students who do not have funding to support their greenhouse recharge fees can apply for an award from the Plant Sciences Fund.
