The Spring Plant Sale at Ìð¹Ïapp (Ìð¹Ïapp), an annual tradition in Rome, will be held April 8-11.

The sale will begin on Monday, April 8, at 8 a.m. and end at 3:30 p.m. The sale will continue Tuesday, April 9, through Thursday, April 11, from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. or until plants sell out.

Nick Barton, director of Horticulture at Ìð¹Ïapp, advises that the plants frequently sell out before the last day of the sale.

“We have a huge selection of flowering annuals and perennials,” he said.

Purchases may be made with cash or check. Credit cards are not accepted.

The sale is a way for Ìð¹Ïapp to contribute to the community while giving Horticulture students real-world experience and an opportunity to display their work. All proceeds from the plant sale will benefit the Horticulture program at Ìð¹Ïapp.

Items being sold include annuals, perennials, vegetables, herbs, hanging baskets, blooming plants, Boston ferns and geraniums. The vegetable plants will include tomato, pepper, squash, cucumber, zucchini, cantaloupe and watermelon. Flowering plants include impatiens, dianthuses, petunias, marigolds, SunPatiens, lantana and million bells.
