RACHEL — Spring has come alive at Marion County Technical Center.
Agriculture students got to show off their green thumbs Friday and Saturday by selling flowers, vegetables and plants they have raised in the school's greenhouse.
John Postlethwait, agriculture teacher and Future Farmers of America advisor, said growing the plants helped the students hone in and develop their basic agricultural skills. He said it also helped give the kids a diverse learning experience.
“It’s something they could use either at home or maybe it becomes a career for them. The greenhouse itself — all the sales go right back into the FFA chapter and the greenhouse to keep it sustainable,” he said.
