AKRON — Tippecanoe Valley FFA members finished second in the state nursery landscaping contest this spring.
It was the first time Valley FFA had a team in that particular competition. Members had to identify plant materials commonly used in landscaping, take a written knowledge assessment, estimate mathematical business scenarios and apply practical skills with hands-on challenges as a team and individually.
The team was coached by Valley ag teacher Hope Slagle. Team members included Reed Jones, Jailynn Evans, Hayden Stookey and Roy Baldridge.
