When the Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) introduced Horticulture as part of its Agriculture Science Syllabus some ten years ago, both students and teachers were at a loss as to where to access such information or who to turn to for help.
Gardenland Nursery was recommended and since then I have had the privilege of assisting them every year, including students completing their School-Based Assessments (SBAs). Some of the topics are: Growing Seedlings, Types of Soil, Potted Plants, Fertilizers, Preparing and Marketing Flowers and Harvesting Flowers. There is always excitement among the students who are always eager to learn.
