Silvio Barnes, a senior at the Sound School in Connecticut, shares his FFA Supervised Agricultural Experience project of growing and propagating succulents in the school greenhouse. Starting with just 15 plants purchased for $20, he has expanded his collection to over 100 plants while learning valuable lessons about patience, work ethic, and time management. Through careful daily attention to his plants and use of natural pest management methods with guidance from his agriculture teacher, he emphasizes the importance of choosing an SAE based on personal passion and commitment.
