Growth of aquaponics greenhouse aids Craven CC transitions students
Craven Community College highlights a greenhouse project in its Transitions Academy where students care for an aquaponics pond and grow geraniums and carnations. Under instructor Brenda Laughinghouse they learn pruning, propagation and moisture management while developing math, science and language arts skills. The project, funded by Butch White of White's Strawberry Farm, began in 2019, faced delays after Hurricane Dorian, and resumed this year on the New Bern campus as part of College & Career Readiness programs offering free classes and career prep resources.
