Today was a good day for plant science!! The green pathways practicum class attended Generational Dreaming, an event held at the beautiful at & the horticulture science class helped harvest EVERYTHING before the upcoming freeze. Our harvest included: radish, butter crunch lettuce, rainbow chard, curly kale, collard greens, cabbage and broccoli! Last but not least, students and Clifton staff were able to take these veggies home with them!

Everyone enjoy the 3 day weekend, reflect and express gratitude for the work done by MLK and other civil rights activists & please, please stay warm 🥶 🥬

Hey Y’all!

In light of the holiday season, I wanted to take a moment to express how grateful I am for the Clifton Community. We owe the success of our program to people in AISD and the neighborhood that surrounds campus (not just plant science! The hospitality, culinary and career prep programs also benefit immensely from our communities ongoing support).

So, community, I announce to you our Holiday Plant Sale (formerly known as the Poinsettia Sale). This year we are offering a variety of poinsettias and Christmas cactus. Prices are listed in our advertisements… which you will be seeing more of! Our students did a fantastic job showing off the plants.

Please email [email protected] for more information and to place an order!

All plants can be picked up at Clifton CDS or will be dropped off at central office on Tuesday afternoon, 12/12/23

Thank you so much in advance!! Have a peaceful & lovely holiday break 🍁🍂
