Horticulture Students Showcase Their Skills!

Our Horticulture students are becoming experts in identifying alien invasive plants from indigenous ones. Here they are proudly showing off their plant identification skills!

It is important to recognize the difference. Our Biodiversity Stewardship Manager, Thili, tested our college students with a range of alien plant species. The students also harvested Erica irregularis seeds and learned how to offload and plant 500-litre trees!
