These projects were selected to receive Star Project awards for their hard work during our Fall session of 2025.
This was a smaller session, but our 17 classes turned out 128 impressive projects, and selecting winners was especially tough!
On behalf of the PlantingScience community, we applaud and congratulate the
students, teachers, mentors, and liaisons who comprise the winning teams!
