Worland High School Horticulture

Students studying horticulture in grades 9–12 built 32 raised beds in which they plant vegetables, wildflowers, and annuals including pollinators. In 2023, blueberry and raspberry bushes were added.

Produce goes to the local food pantry and to the school’s Family and Consumer Science program. Ag science instructor Grace Godfrey (certified with the Curriculum for Agricultural Science Education) teaches introduction to agriculture, food and natural resources, principles of agricultural science-animal and plant, mechanical systems in agriculture, and agriculture business foundations. Her program offers students experiential learning opportunities with 100% participation in Supervised Agricultural Experience projects.

WHS students involved with the school’s community service group help at the Worland Community Garden.
