GRIDLEY, CA (MPG) - Are you ready to get some spring planting done? Whether it’s flowering perennials or garden vegetables you are looking for, Gridley FFA Plant Sale has got you covered!
The annual sale has been part of the Ag Department for some time now but has grown in popularity over the last few years. In 2020, the FFA Plant Sale offered options for online purchases and pre-orders, but due to some logistic issues, will not be able to provide that service this year. Instead, Gridley FFA invites you to come down to the green house and personally select your garden goodies.
The FFA Plant sale features a variety of flowering plants, including petunias, coleus, marigolds, and vegetable plants, such as tomatoes. Garden art and house plants will also be available for purchase. Ag and FFA Advisor Nick Dreesmann says that proceeds from the sales go back into the department for further greenhouse and horticulture experiences, including supervised agricultural projects.
GHS FFA Plant Sale will be held Saturday, April 17th, from 9:00 am – 12:00 pm at the Gridley High School greenhouse in the Ag Department area.
