Horticulture Students Gaining Valuable Green Skills!

At Grootbos Foundation, our Horticulture students recently sharpened their skills by learning to identify pests on plants and recognize evidence of pest damage. This is an incredibly useful green skill for the future of sustainable gardening! Some pests are easier to spot with a magnifying glass, making observation even more precise.

We can't wait to see their creativity bloom!
