Nevada Legislatures took decorative bouquets to their offices and waiting rooms on Tuesday, thanks to Carson High Schoolâs agriculture class. But the purpose goes beyond the kind gesture, as a way to support and spread awareness about northern Nevadaâs cultivation. âItâs important for our students to get involved educating the public on local agriculture,â said CHS agriculture science teacher Charlie Mann. âItâs not just the farmers in the industry. There are researchers out on fields investigating the best way to conserve water and other resources.â In honor of Agriculture Day at the Legislature, students designed 25 centerpieces and displayed them in booths outside. Mann said the Nevada Department of Agriculture asked the class to present the project at the Legislature. âThis class wants to be the voice for agriculture to the community,â Mann said. âWe want the representatives to see different aspects of agriculture in Nevada, including what we have in Carson City.â Mann said to promote agriculture to Legislators is also important as the environment is different compared to the Mojave desert. âWe have snowpack on the mountains until summer,â he said. âWe have water resources for native animals and techniques for wildfire prevention. We have something to rely on with the use of the land. Itâs how we use everything in our day-to-day lives.â In the CHS floral program, students design and arrange bouquets for proms, birthdays, funerals, weddings, and other special events.
