FFA Brings New Life to Lockwood

Lindsey Harper is a science teacher who teaches plant and animal science for Lockwood. She also is in charge of the FFA. The classes are doing different things simultaneously because each of her classes is at different levels. Some of their classes are hanging basket plants, herb gardens, germinating seeds, and making flower arrangements that the students could then give to their parents and the teachers for teacher appreciation. The seeds they have been using were donated by Lockwood AC hardware at the beginning of the year. The students also have a bucket in Mrs. Koss's class from foodscapes from her food class. The bucket is then put in a composter which the student turns to be able to get the nutrient for their soil. The classroom doesn't have any water right now, so the students have to get water from the bathroom to water their plants. Next spring, Harper is hoping to get a greenhouse for the school so that the student can expect to set up sprayers in there that will be on timers to get the plant watered more and when needed. The greenhouse is also planned to have a whole area just for the soil so that the student can use it for their plants.
