Specialty Crop

Douglas High School students enrolled in agriculture classes and FFA learn about horticulture, plant sciences, gardening, greenhouse management, soil testing, and other topics as part of their curriculum. Students grow vegetables and flowers in a 36ʹ × 18ʹ greenhouse, and some of what they grow—including vegetable starts and flowers—is sold to school staff and community residents each spring with proceeds supporting the FFA program. Since 2021, when the first Wyoming Specialty Crop Directory was published, the ag program has increased its hanging basket production.
