Specialty Crop

A variety of Journey Elementary School classes and members of the Journey Greenhouse Club study a wide range of topics relating to plant sciences, horticulture, gardening, produce production, and senses in indoor and outdoor facilities at the school, including a greenhouse, adjacent community garden, and sensory garden. The latter includes a variety of plants and objects that allow students to explore their senses, including visual, touch, taste, and sound.

Students, teachers, and others grow fresh vegetables and fruits in the greenhouse and the community garden, and some of the produce is used in the school’s snack program. The community garden and programming is in collaboration with the Casper Community Greenhouse Project.
