AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoFarm-to-school push: Louisiana’s Rayville High is running three greenhouses and using the Seed Change model to teach students how to grow lettuce and tomatoes—plus how to taste what they grow—so cafeteria meals get more nutrient-dense and kids get real ag skills. Heat adaptation: With India’s 40°C-plus summers, rooftop farming in Jaipur is being promoted as a natural cooling and food-growing workaround. Early blooms: At Mottisfont, the National Trust rose garden is flowering weeks early after a mild, wet winter and warm spring, with gardeners leaning on mulching and adjusted pruning. Garden how-to (big mistake alert): Rhododendron fans are being told to prune right after flowering fades—cut too late or too hard and you risk losing next year’s buds. UK heatwave rules: Households with artificial grass are warned about damage from heavy foot traffic and hot, sunny activities, and police have reiterated cautions around sunbathing in gardens.
