“How like to plant, plants and not kill them and stuff,” says middle school student Addison Browne.
He’s like a lot of his middle school classmates. He enjoys being outside in the greenhouse instead of cooped up inside. The new greenhouse opened in February. It's the first time middle school students in Mobile County get this kind of education.
“Every one of my students either knows somebody that owns a greenhouse or works at a greenhouse or they live next door to a greenhouse,” says Agri-science teacher Angie Brinkman.
It's such an agriculturally centered community that it's really important for the kids to be familiar with it and associated with it.” The kids work in the classroom as well but to really get experience in planting and agriculture you gotta get your hands dirty, so the greenhouse is really their chances to learn about planting
“Without the greenhouse it's hard to have kids just in a classroom and teach them about plants and have them stay interested for as long as they are,” says Brinkman.
Each student has different jobs. Some have to water, or fertilize or check for mold and mildew.
