Simon Chrétien

Simon Chrétien is a specialist in residential greenhouses, combining scientific knowledge with practical project experience. With a master’s degree in plant biology from Université Laval and training in agronomy, he helps gardeners and organizations plan greenhouses with a clear understanding of their costs, requirements, and possibilities. Through Horizon Agrobiotech Inc., he is an authorized retailer of BC Greenhouse Builders Ltd., offering residential and commercial Cross Country greenhouses.

The brand’s approach puts planning before purchasing: customers define what they want to grow, calculate heating and ventilation needs, choose suitable materials and dimensions, and then prepare to cultivate. Resources include free French-language calculators for greenhouse heating, ventilation, and artificial lighting, as well as online training on greenhouse design, climate, constraints, and purchasing decisions. Simon also offers project guidance and strategic consultation, and has authored books on domestic greenhouses and indoor gardens. His book Les serres domestiques et les jardins d’intérieur was a finalist for the MAPAQ Minister’s Prize in Horticulture.
