Woodland High School to host FFA plant sale on Friday, April 29

Posted

The agriculture program at Woodland High School will host its 32nd annual FFA plant sale on Friday, April 29.

This year’s event will feature a return to in-person shopping. The past two years, purchases during the plant sale had to be made online because of COVID-19 restrictions.

Shoppers will be able to peruse a wide variety of plants offered by the horticulture students at Woodland High School during the sale, stated a news release. 

“The return of in-person shopping also offers invaluable learning experiences for students participating in the WHS agriculture classes as students are responsible for operating and managing the greenhouse,” stated the release. 

Students take on a wide range of business roles that include things like customer service, the creation of marketing materials, and the management of inventory.

“We are excited to return to in-person this year,” stated horticulture teacher Kendra Pearce in the release. “The plant sale is a community tradition that has held fast during the pandemic but being able to offer students and community members the opportunity to interact and participate fully is what it is all about.”

Students select the plants they want to grow at the beginning of each school year. All of the plants are grown without the use of pesticides or herbicides. 

As they grow the plants, students learn about plant science, biology and physiology. They also conduct lab experiments and learn about careers in the horticulture industry. 



This year’s plant sale will feature a wide variety of vegetables, geraniums, bedding plants, succulents, hanging baskets and more. 

The plant sale will run from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Friday, April 29 at the Woodland High School’s greenhouse at 1500 Dike Access Road in Woodland.

The student store accepts cash or personal checks. No credit cards will be accepted.
