The greenhouse will be open Monday-Friday from 8am to 5pm and on Saturday it is open from 8am to 12pm. Flowers of many colors being sold include NG Impatiens, Begonia, Alyssum, Vinca, Portulaca, Dusty Miller, Coleus, Spreading Wave Petunia, Marigolds and Dahlia.

The Horticulture class was very involved with growing the plants. The class worked together to grow and keep the plants healthy. We filled the pots with soil, planted the plugs, pinched the plants, fertilized the soil and kept up the watering of all the plants. This taught the class a lot about raising and producing plants for selling purposes.
