Specialty Crop

Natrona County High School (NCHS) sophomores enrolled in the agriculture and natural resources class learn about horticulture, plant sciences, and gardening as part of their studies in the FFA program. They start and grow vegetables and fruits indoors, under grow lights. Students are able to take starts home for their own gardens. They also plant flowers in several outdoor gardens to help beautify the school grounds and provide habitat for pollinators.

NCHS juniors and seniors can expand their education in horticulture and plant sciences at the Pathways Innovation Center (see listing below).
