Lyman High School Plant Science and Horticulture

Students enrolled in the plant science and horticulture class learn up-to-date aspects of plant sciences, horticulture, gardening, greenhouse management, and food production through the school’s hydroponic and aeroponic systems as well as FarmBot (https://farm.bot/). FarmBot is an open-source computer numerical control (CNC) farming robot that prioritizes sustainability and optimizes modern farming techniques.
Students grow bedding plants and vegetable starts. Plants grown in the greenhouse, baskets, and containers are sold to the community to help fund the school’s ag department. When possible, plants grown using hydroponics are sold as well.

Seedlings
Students enrolled in the plant science and horticulture class at Lyman High School learn many aspects about gardening and food production within the school’s hydroponic and aeroponic facilities. Do you know what the unique vegetable in the foreground is? Hint: do an online search for the late English essayist and poet Charles Lamb, who wrote that this vegetable “inspires gentle thoughts.”
