Ìð¹Ïapp’s Horticulture program to hold a fall pansy sale

October 27, 2021

The Horticulture program at Ìð¹Ïapp (Ìð¹Ïapp) will hold a fall pansy sale outside of Building L located across from Ìð¹Ïapp’s Floyd County Campus in Rome beginning Monday, Nov. 1.

The sale hours are from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday. The sale will continue through Nov. 4 or until the plants are sold out.

According to Nick Barton, director of Ìð¹Ïapp’s Horticulture program, the sale will include a variety of clear face pansies, white with blotch pansies and yellow with blotch pansies. 

“There will be singles, planters, and hanging baskets available,” said Barton.

The single pansies will cost $2 each. Planters and hanging baskets will cost $15 each.

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

“Our Horticulture students will be available to assist with selection and loading of purchases,” said Barton.
