Ag Science Courses Gear Up For Spring
by Jenny Kocian, Ag Educator
Several courses at Mead High School have been gearing up for spring. Students in several courses including Horticulture, Landscape Design, Ag Literacy, Advanced Ag, and Ag Exploratory have been busy both in the classroom and the greenhouse preparing plants for a number of projects. Some of the activities include hydroponic vegetables, annual and perennial plant production, propagation, plant growth trials, along with interior and exterior landscaping projects just to name a few.
The greenhouse serves as an extension of the classroom and is an awesome opportunity for students to gain a host of life long skills along with the exposure of horticulture careers, science and business applications, and fulfills a past time family hobby for many too.
