Course Description:

 

Horticulture 1 is designed to introduce you to the various areas of the horticulture industry. We will study economics of horticulture, plant ID, employability skills, record keeping, soil science, and many other areas of the horticulture industry.  This is a very hands-on class where students will be involved with the operation of a production greenhouse and design of numerous plant beds around campus.  One of the major benefits of being enrolled in this course is the opportunity to be a member of the FFA. Every student is required to the join the FFA and encouraged to take advantage of all it has to offer YOU!!!  Dues are $15.  You will also be required to design a project related to the agricultural industry. This type of project is known as a Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) Project. This project will be a part of the grading process.
