What's going on? 8/20 - 9/12

Hello all!
The CATEC Hortuculture students have been quite busy since the beginning of the school year. In the short 3+ weeks since school began we have covered ALOT of material, including:

1. The history of Horticulture
2. Divisions of Horticulture
3. Horticultural jobs
4. Plant classification
5. Latin names of plants

Outdoors we have been working hard as well, preforming the following tasks:

1. Cutting back perennials
2. Preparing a new bed by adding leaf compost and pine needle mulch
3. Cleaning out and reorganizing our Greenhouse
4. Taking out dead plant material, unfortunately the summer drought hit us too!

I'd like to invite students to answer the following question- What has been your favorite day so far in horticulture class? Was it a day outside working? Was is a group project inside? Let me know by leaving a comment for me!

Blog readers: Stay tuned for more updates from us!

Mrs. Greenberg and class
