About Us....🌿
Our goal is to equip students with entry level
job skills in Floral, Greenhouse Management,
Aquaculture and landscape maintenance
following the seasonal operations of our onsite
greenhouse and floral shop. Hands-on activities
include growing herbs, vegetables, annual and
perennial plants along with creating floral
items, caring for school campus plants, and
running the floral shop! Students will explore
business management, marketing and sales,
customer service, basic safety, growing media and
nutrition, applied plant science, propagation,
greenhouse automation, community leadership
and stewardship.

Students will apply floral design principles while producing creations to sell in our onsite gift shop. Some of the creations will include fresh floral designs, candy bouquets, gift baskets, seasonal wreath’s, silk floral arrangements, plant baskets and dish gardens. The gift shop will provide sales to the general public following the holidays and seasons. Our small business operations will teach students about customer service skills, merchandising, marketing, leadership/community stewardship, employability, basic finance, and entrepreneurship.
Vases, mugs and flowers will vary depending upon availability.
