Students enrolled in the Plant and Horticulture class have been very busy in the Vo Ag greenhouse this winter and spring. Students set up all hydroponic growing systems, planted seeds, maintained proper growing procedures, and now are harvesting produce. Last week, students started to harvest salad and cucumbers. The class has provided over 40 cucumbers to the high school lunches over the past week. They also had the chance to try their own produce in class. Students will continue to manage the greenhouse and hopefully harvest more salad, cucumbers, and cherry tomatoes. This has been a great experience for students to take what they have learned in the classroom and apply it to a hands on activity. It also allows them to connect agricultural with our high school food services program.
