4/5 FFA Greenhouse Plant Sale Begins Benton, TN

It’s that time of year again! Greenhouse plant sale time!
For those that are unfamiliar with how we do things, plants are started from seed by students in Agriscience, and cared for by them throughout the semester.
All seeds are heirloom, which means you can save them for next year if you’d like. We do not spray anything. Some of the tomatoes have been fertilized, but that’s it.
Prices have not changed this year, they will remain the same as 2022. We are ONLY able to accept cash or check, no credit cards, Venmo, PayPal, or whatever the newest form of payment is.
$1.50 for individual cups
$2 for a 4pack
$3 for a 6pack
$15 for a flat – yes, you can mix and match
*No, we will not hold for you.
We will operate with school hours extending until 4pm on Wednesday, 4/5, and Thursday, 4/6. Good Friday, 4/7, there’s no school that day, we will open at 9 and close at 3, same on Saturday, 4/8.
I’m sorry if these hours do not work for you, this is the best we can do.
