Wadsworth Control Systems

Red Butte Garden and Arboretum in Salt Lake City is home to over 100 acres of themed gardens and natural areas and an award-winning plant-focused science education program. Their production greenhouses, where they grow the collections for display areas, have a Wadsworth Seed control system that manages climate, lighting, and irrigation. They also utilize soil moisture sensors to automatically trigger irrigation events.
Each year, more than 250,000 guests from all over the world come to Red Butte Garden and Arboretum to experience the beauty and diversity of plants and trees in a stunning mountain setting.

With your Wadsworth Seed control system, you have full access to control as many growing areas as you want from multiple options. Control your environments, irrigation, fertigation and light levels from your phone, tablet, computer, or the touchscreen itself.

We recently completed commissioning a new Seed system at Texas State University in San Marcos. The system was installed in the Biology Department research greenhouses and will support a variety of plant health research studies.
These greenhouses also feature a custom-designed Wadsworth shade system to improve shading and heat retention. While on site, our team reviewed the operation of the VersiSTEP control systems and provided training for new professors on greenhouse control operation.

The team at this private greenhouse research facility is excited to upgrade their original Seed V1 control system to the new Seed V2 platform. The new Seed V2 offers faster performance, expanded features, remote access, alarms & alerts, and even better graphing tools to help monitor and fine-tune growing environments with ease.
If you currently have one of our original Seed systems, now is a great time to explore the benefits of upgrading. Reach out to us today for a FREE quote and see what Seed V2 can do for your facility.

The University of Kentucky Research and Education Center at Princeton features six brand-new Stuppy greenhouses—all controlled by the Wadsworth Seed control system. The Seed system provides full control of all six independent zones, including Wadsworth automatic shade and heat-retention curtains, as well as the corridor used for inlet air.

Each zone is equipped with standard greenhouse evaporative cooling and variable-speed exhaust fans, allowing precise fine-tuning of environmental conditions to meet the researchers’ specific needs. The system also modulates LED grow lights to maintain targeted PAR light levels.

All system data can be seamlessly shared with the main campus through BACnet integration.
