In May, the Olympia Agriculture department is putting on a plant sale for everyone around to come buy plants grown in the greenhouse by students in Agriculture classes.
The past couple of month’s students and faculty have been planting many types of plants in the greenhouse. Everyone has been working hard to have beautiful plants to sell at the plant sale.
Olympia Ag teacher Bryce Hoffman said, “We have been planting seeds, transplanting plugs to learn about growth development, all for the spring plant sale.”
This has also been a good experience for students in understanding the growth and development of plants. It helps students learn more about a horticulture side of things and also do hands on work with these plants.
According to Olympia Ag Student Thomas Hallstein, “I’ve honestly learned a lot about how plants grow and develop and some of things I didn’t know amazed me.”
There is an estimate of around 30 varieties of flowers that have been planted. 5-6 varieties of tomatoes and 3-4 varieties of pepper have been planted over this time period.
This plant sale helps raise money for the Ag and Science department. The money received will help to buy equipment or any other class materials to help make our classes better.
As the plant sale approaches students and faculty is making sure these plants are fully ready to go. So come on out to the plant sale and support the school and get some beautifully looking plants.
