Solid hands-on activities strengthen any agriculture teacher's arsenal. For programs with a horticulture component, having greenhouse facilities on campus can make the difference between satisfactory student achievement and excellence. At NortheasternHigh School in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, greenhouse plant sales have helped our program grow from a little over 1,100 square feet under cover to more than 11,000 square feet under cover in 18 years. Profits from the greenhouse operation are reinvested into the program for capital improvements like perimeter fencing, concrete walkways, and a soil bin with a roof and concrete floor.
