News Release
Orange Coast College's Horticulture Department will host its annual Spring Plant Sale on April 5 and 12 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Plant enthusiasts and gardeners are invited to visit the Horticulture area's garden nursery on the first two Fridays of April to purchase plants produced by students of the Horticulture Program.
"It's full circle for the students," Horticulture Instructor and Lab Coordinator Joe Stead said. "They get ownership of the plants and see the seed out to the customer."
Local vendors donate plants to the program. Students propagate and tend to them throughout the semester until they are big enough to take home and sell to the community. The stellar selection includes edible plants such as tomatoes, peppers, strawberries, and cooking herbs, as well as other household greens and flowering selections that will be available at the sale.
"We're excited to showcase the high-quality plants our community knows us for," Horticulture Instructor Lori Pullman said. "We will be offering a wide variety of plants for shoppers and will be on hand to answer any customer questions and to offer advice."
The event is free to the public. All proceeds will go toward student scholarships and projects.
