In late spring Blue Canyon Farm in Heber City wakes from winter: students move through daffodil beds, the plant nursery and tiny hidden fairy gardens, learn plant anatomy by dissecting a sunflower and plant seeds destined for the summer fields—each student leaves with a sunflower they planted themselves.

THE TAKEAWAY
