The Caldwell County FFA and Agriculture Department is proud of the refurnished greenhouse located at the high school.
The greenhouse is used by the students to gain firsthand experience in growing various types of plants and vegetables. The teachers can explain the process of planting the seed and what needs to take place to grow the plant in the classroom and then take students out to the greenhouse for them to experience the process. The greenhouse is also used for the students to grow flowers that can be purchased by the public as a fundraiser for the FFA program. The greenhouse has become a major center of instruction for many of the agriculture classes taught at the high school.
FFA Advisor Magen Woods explained the greenhouse has gone through a complete renovation over the past year.
