By Dhyana Kearly Students Justin Whaley, Juanita Weatherly, Ashley Barlow and Andrew Surber are shown working on the flower bed which will soon contain blue and gold flowers framing the word Prineville . They are Crook County High School horticulture students who are working to beautify Prineville. By Dhyana Kearly Students from the Crook County High School horticulture class are helping to make a real visual impact on the way Prineville looks. And, now we are looking for donations of landscaping supplies and cash to help us complete this project. The flowers are being grown at the green house at the high school.
Students hope to start planting flowers in about two weeks.
So it's taking a while to bring it all together. But, it's going to look really nice when we get done. Barlow indicated that the flowers being planted this year are annuals and next year they will plant perennials. Stephanie Hagens, who is a junior this year is planning on taking on this project next year as a senior project. The horticulture students are also involved in the citywide spring planting program and have been working to restore planter barrels.
