Ìð¹Ïapp to hold Fall Mum Sale, Sept. 21-23, 2021

September 14, 2021

The Horticulture program at Ìð¹Ïapp (Ìð¹Ïapp) will hold a Fall Mum Sale outside of Building L located across from Ìð¹Ïapp’s Floyd County Campus in Rome Tuesday, Sept. 21, through Thursday, Sept. 23.

The sale will be held from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on each day.

The mums will cost $4 each and there will be a variety of colors available.

The plants are located in a fenced area outside of Building L and buyers should stop by Building L if no one is outside with the mums, said Nick Barton, director of Ìð¹Ïapp’s Horticulture program.

“Our yellow mums are already in bloom. We have other colors as well and the buds on those are just starting to flower. They should be in full bloom in a week or two,” said Barton.
