Conceptual Aims

To nurture the understanding of the spiritual and scientific aspects of creation by working with plants. Student's connect with many of life's lessons, particularly the law of sowing seed and of the harvest. We have been given instruction by several prophets to learn to provide for our needs, to be self-sufficient, to decorate and ornament our homes and yards, making them places of peace and beauty. Our goal is to facilitate that learning, and to assist students in developing habits of hard work and healthy living that come from Horticulture skills.
