What We're Growing

House Plants

We have over 30 different types of house plants in the greenhouse. We use these for plants to propagate new plants to sell in plant sales and conduct propagation experitments.

Flowers

Flowers are blooming in the greenhouse getting ready for the pollinator and courtyard garden.

Food

Tomatoes, beans, cuccumbers, peas, broccoli, and so much more. Our most popular crop in the 2025-2026 school year was Jalepenos!

Tower Gardens

Our tower gardens have been growing from October - May to supply a variety of lettuces to our cafeteria for salads, sandwiches, and wraps. As of May 2026 we decided to extend our growing Season with some Strawberries. The tower behind contains basil that is hand pollinated by students so that the seeds can be collected and used the following school year.

Venus Flytraps

Besides being a fascinating plant to watch and care for; venus flytraps are an important part of a biological aspect of the greenhouse's integrated pest management plan.

Banana Trees

We are a few years out from harvesting bananas in the greenhouse, but our trees have trippled in size since we got them 2 years ago.

Vanilla Orchid

Our vanilla orchids still need a few years to mature before we can get vanilla beans.
