Two east county high school FFA groups will host plant sales soon.
Elma High School
Plant Science students “grow a variety of hanging baskets, zonal geraniums, begonias, impatiens, petunias, trailing lpants and more,” a release from Elma High School FFA Greenhouse advisor Emily Severs says.
The chapter will host its Spring Plant sale 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. April 29 through May 3 and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. May 4 in the greenhouse, which is beside the football field behind the high school at 1235 Monte-Elma Road in Elma.
“This self-sustaining program returns the profits back in to the agricultural science lab facilities to continue ‘the applied academic science’ learning for future years,” the release states. “Profits also help the FFA chapter travel to state and national conventions and to host various community service projects.”
