Growers invited to exclusive roll-air greenhouse open houses during Cultivate 2026

During Cultivate 2026 in Columbus, Ohio, Rovero Greenhouses is once again opening the doors to two greenhouse locations, giving growers, greenhouse operators, and garden center owners the opportunity to see the company’s Roll-Air convertible greenhouse system in commercial production environments.

On Saturday, July 11, visitors are invited to Foertmeyer & Sons in Delaware, Ohio, where they can tour 5 acres of commercial production inside a Roll-Air greenhouse. The open house runs from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM at 2851 S. Section Line Road, Delaware, OH 43015.

The Foertmeyer facility shows how the convertible greenhouse system allows growers to open the roof fully in favorable weather conditions while providing protection from rain, hail, wind, or other challenging weather when needed. In addition to the Roll-Air system, visitors will see several other greenhouse technologies integrated into the project, including Damatex greenhouse systems, ErfGoed cultivation floors, and spray boom systems by a supplier still to be confirmed. Together, these technologies show how different greenhouse components can work together to support crop quality, efficiency, and operational flexibility.

For the first time, Rovero is also hosting an open house at Groovy Plant Ranch in Marengo, Ohio, where a Roll-Air greenhouse has recently been completed for ornamental plant production. This open house runs from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM at 4140 County Road 15, Marengo, OH 43334.

The Groovy Plant Ranch project presented an engineering challenge. Because the site features significant elevation changes, nearly every greenhouse column was manufactured to a different length so that the Roll-Air roof would remain level and operate correctly across the entire structure. The project reflects the kind of site-specific adaptation that greenhouse installations sometimes require.

Groovy Plant Ranch is located about 20 minutes from Foertmeyer & Sons on the way toward Columbus, making it a convenient second stop for visitors attending both open houses. Beginning at 5:00 PM, food, beverages, and live music will be provided, giving growers, greenhouse professionals, and garden center owners a chance to network and discuss greenhouse production.

Growers of vegetables, berries, ornamentals, and nursery crops are welcome to attend either or both open houses to see the Roll-Air system in commercial operation and meet fellow growers on Saturday, July 11.
