Grade Level: 9-12

(.5 credit)

Prerequisite: None 

Maximum Number of Students: 16 

Description: Surround yourself with beautiful tropical flowers in the dead of Minnesota's cold Winter. Spend time in Royalton’s greenhouse, learning plant production, identification, disease prevention, pest management, and equipment care. Grow hydroponic lettuce to support the Royal lunch room and be able to taste your harvest monthly through school lunches. Learn how to propagate your own plants using techniques such as cuttings, seeds, and tissue culture as well as maintain and manage a commercial greenhouse as you prepare for the Schools Spring Plant Sale. You'll also participate in a Supervised Agricultural Experience Program (AKA a hands-on, out of class Experience). This hands-on class will have you active each day, as you play a management role in plant production.
