US (PA): Native plant greenhouse thriving at CAHS
“We are good at growing oak trees,” said Kevin Willis, teacher at Carmichaels Area. “We needed to find a resource to help us grow other native plants.” That’s where Audubon at Beechwood comes in.

Students were given a tour of the plant centre by Roxanne Swann, ACNP coordinator.
