BOCES

The students at BOCES (Board of Cooperative Educational Services) start plants from seed in their school greenhouse, then sell them to local gardeners as well as the Beautification Program. In June, the students help out with planting the annuals on the Commons. This way they can see the entire process, from starting the seeds to transplanting in the greenhouse, then planting outdoors.
