Palmetto Christian Academy of Greenwood is pleased to announce that it will be offering the Junior Master Gardener program for enrolled students in grades 1-12 beginning in September. The eleven session course will cover eight different educational topics and two gardening projects. The teaching concepts include the importance and uses of plants, plant classification, plant parts, plant needs, plant growth, plant processes, seed propagation and vegetation propagation.
PCAG is thankful to parent and master gardener Linda Halsey for her leadership with this course. Mrs. Halsey states, “My desire is to pass along to the next generation of botanists the passion I have for God’s creation. Plants are great teaching tools for students of all ages to learn His love for us by observing His intricate and complex designs (in the plant world).”
Builder Quinn Mack with Mack Construction and engineer Mike Goss with Structural Components Systems Incorporated have developed a new 216 square foot prototype greenhouse which uses rain water for irrigation. The trusses for the greenhouse are on site at the school and construction will begin soon.
