Goal

What will be done with my students
Construction of greenhouse, germinating and nurturing plants as they grow. Using plants for food, landscaping, decoration. Selling some plants to raise funds for the farm.
Benefits to my students
Students will learn basic construction skills, irrigation methods, how to grow various plants from seeds, cuttings, and other propagation methods. They will learn fertilization techniques, pest control withorganic substances, pruning/pinching techniques to produce fuller plants. Students will be able to taste plants they have grown, to market and sell flowers and herbs.
