Did you know CLC has its own prairie?
Horticulture students recently collected native plant seeds from campus and are researching how to help them thrive. Some will be grown for our Spring Greenhouse Sale, while others will be packaged and sold as seed packets.
Hands-on learning, native plants and a greener future. 🌱💚 #Horticulture #NativePlants #greenhouse #learning

🌧️🍅 Rain, mud, and real-world learning!
Our Applied Plant Science students spent the day at Brambling Rows Farm, exploring crops, greenhouses, and farm-to-table practices. They didn't just observe, they jumped in to help by pulling tomato plants, staking peppers, and planting garlic for next year's harvest. #plantscience #farmtotable #garden
