The Horticulture program at Ìð¹Ïapp (Ìð¹Ïapp) is extending its fall plant sale to Oct. 15

The sale is taking place at the greenhouses and Building L located across from Ìð¹Ïapp’s Floyd County Campus in Rome.

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 Oct. 15 or all the plants are sold out.

Pansies and mums are available for purchase. Mums cost $4 each and pansies cost $3 a six pack or $11 a flat.

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.
