ADRIAN — The LISD TECH Center Horticulture Program is bringing new life to the grounds of the Lenawee Historical Museum through an ongoing partnership.
This ongoing partnership, which began in the fall of 2023, brings together students led by instructor Johanna Lentz and the Lenawee Historical Society to reimagine and revitalize the museum grounds.
The project began when students met with museum staff and board members to assess landscaping needs.
Two second-year horticulture students, Mason Tuberville and Riley Mosley created a professional-grade landscape plan using RealTime Landscape Architect CAD software.
Students learned to prepare professional cost estimates, giving the Historical Society the ability to pursue sponsorships and funding to move the project forward.
In the fall of this year, the museum grounds were transformed piece by piece, not by contractors but by high school horticulture students.
Johanna Lentz said in a statement, “They aren’t just learning landscaping…They’re learning how to work with clients, manage budgets, and see a project through from concept to completion.”
