“Kendall has worked hard over the past two years developing her business of propagating and selling succulents for her supervised agriculture experience, a required component of any Ag. student/FFA member. She has invested hundreds of hours in developing both a growth and business plan. She implements what she has learned from her time in agricultural sciences to properly select, propagate, and care for her succulents. She uses the latest greenhouse technology to support the cultivation of her product, pest/disease control and calculating her income and expenditures. She then creates and constructs brilliant ways which not only display the succulents, but also meet their environmental requirements.”
