Agriculture Education classes are planting now for a colorful holiday season. Students have been in the greenhouse trying to grow poinsettias. Poinsettias require hours of complete darkness. As this is the first full year in the greenhouse, students are experimenting to see if they can grow poinsettias to then sell. Classes have also been growing micro greens for the school lunch program! #spsdlearns #togetherwesoar #ageducation
