Video Description: Aerial shot of the exterior of the Vertical Harvest greenhouse in Jackson, Wyoming. Next, we are inside  the greenhouse. Joelle and Johnny are in a training session sitting in front of a computer. They sit side-by-side at a small desk. There are large metal tables and boxes stacked up along the far wall. Carousels with plants rotate along the glass facade behind them.
