September 5, 2019

The Horticulture program at Ìð¹Ïapp (Ìð¹Ïapp) is holding a small fall plant sale at the greenhouses and Building L located across from Ìð¹Ïapp’s Floyd County Campus in Rome beginning Tuesday, Sept. 17.

The sale hours are from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. On Fridays the sale will be a half-day from 9 a.m. to noon. The sale will continue until the plants are sold out.

On Sept. 17 mums will be available for purchase and pansies will be ready around Sept. 26. Mums will cost $4 each and pansies will cost $3 a six pack or $11 a flat. One gallon shrubs will also be available for $4 each.

The sale is a way for Ìð¹Ïapp to contribute to the community that also gives Horticulture students real-world experience.

“I didn’t know that there were so many variations of mums until we started growing plants for this sale,” said Hannah Nesbitt, a Horticulture major from Rome.

Buyers should stop by Building L first, said David Warren, director of Ìð¹Ïapp’s Horticulture program.

Purchases may be made with cash or check and credit cards are not accepted. All proceeds from the plant sale will benefit the Horticulture program at Ìð¹Ïapp.
