Welcome to Horticulture!

This class is designed for students who are interested in the natural/environmental sciences or who simply would like to develop a green thumb! Students will learn about a wide variety of topics about growing plants including basic plant identification, anatomy, irrigation, pruning, and diseases.

Students will practice several propagation techniques like growing plants from seeds and cuttings. Class will revolve around students spending some of their time growing various vegetables in Elora’s Garden of Hope, located at the corners of Martin and Steubenville Streets, Peoria’s Southside.
