Specialty Crop

Riverside High School agriculture students and FFA members, and also students at Riverside Middle School, learn about various aspects of agriculture, including topics focused on plant sciences, horticulture, and agribusiness via classroom exercises and hands-on experience. They start and grow vegetables, fruits, and flowers in a greenhouse. The students water the plants and provide nutrients, and learn about the importance of everything from soil health to pollinators and other beneficial insects.
