Kari Simpson reflected on the CDE saying, “My favorite part of
the Horticulture CDE was the judging rings. I felt confident on how I placed the
different classes of plants.”
The section contest was hosted by Tri-Valley High School.
The horticulture team will compete at the State competition on April 22nd, 2022.
