The FFA greenhouse will be open next Saturday, April 27th and Saturday, May 4th from 8am-1pm. We are allowing customers to enter the main academic doors to the high school and travel through our commons area to enter the greenhouse. You do not need to walk around the building to get back to the greenhouse. We will have plenty of student help to carry plants to your cars. Also, just a friendly reminder that we take checks and cash. New this year- there will be a spring craft and vendor show in the commons area during the sale. Feel free to check this out after you shop for plants! We look forward to seeing you all next weekend and we thank you in advance for your support!
