Washtenaw Technical Middle College (WTMC) Hoop House Flower Garden- Students planted three outdoor  boxes with a variety of bee friendly plants that bloom at different times of the year.

WTMC Garden Wiki- Students are currently using Seek, an app that helps them identify plants and insects and will be using this information to create a garden wiki that will be linked to the WTMC homepage.

WTMC Apple Orchard Planting- Students planted 61 dwarfing apple root-stock this spring in addition to nine (9) heirloom plum trees.  Students will graft scion wood onto these root-stocks in the spring of 2020.
