Battle Ground Public Schools plant and greenhouses sales start this month
Get your green thumbs ready, Battle Ground Public Schools’ annual plant and greenhouse sales kick off starting Saturday, April 26. A variety of annual and perennial bedding and flowering plants will be available, along with vegetable starts and hanging baskets. All items are grown by district students and staff.
All sales will be drop-in, with no prior registration required. The bare root trees, shrubs and perennial sale on the CASEE campus will have hours set aside for NatureScaping Northwest members. Visit their website for details.
Money raised from these sales supports the district's horticulture and FFA programs and welding teams.
