Having a Horticulture Hall greenhouse as a laboratory is especially nice as winter wanes and the days lengthen. An ag education and studies first-year trio (l-r) of Gabi Robertson, Layne Putnam and Kaya Knipper said they have enjoyed their spring semester project inside. Late last week, they met to discuss outcomes of the research in their Principles of Horticulture Science class: monitoring the growth of basil, corn, impatiens and tomato plants under different conditions to learn what can cause growth deficiencies.
