Updated: November 2, 2009
Does a green thumb come naturally or can it be learned? Students at Springhill High School learn to have a green thumb. They do this through their Environmental Science and Horticulture classes. Their teacher James Cosby is a veteran at the green house process. With Mr. Cosby’s help students grow the plants and then raise money for their school. For a donation you can go home with some beautiful flowers. Cosby says, “Students are not big on book work, they want to stay in the green house.” He went on to say that this program has raised money for the art department and the library. They have Pansies for the fall and will have Petunias and assorted foliage for the spring. Public Hours: 10:39-11:34am Mon-Fri 3:45- 5:30pm Mon-Fri 401 Church St. Springhill, La 318-539-2563
