US (MD): Richard Montgomery High greenhouse teaches plant cultivation
When the new building of Richard Montgomery High School was constructed, a greenhouse was built for the first time in the school’s history. It was specifically designed for the horticulture course that is offered at high schools across the county. In the course, students learn to cultivate and care for plant gardens. The plants can be grown year round in a greenhouse, but the school uses its greenhouse for horticulture and it is only taught second semester.
At the glass greenhouse in room 362, horticulture students grow a plethora of different vegetation. A variety of flowering plants, including black-eyed susans, marigolds, petunias, and impatiens are grown. Produce such as lettuce, tomatoes, green peppers, cucumbers, and herbs including parsley, basil, lavender, and rosemary are also grown at the facility.
