Together they put together an annual Spring plant sale with profits going back into the program.
Year-round the non-profit organization provides Westmont students hands-on experience in the agricultural field. Students learn how to buy, raise, and sell plants and animals. The annual plant sale is just one example of Westmont FFA’s commitment to curriculum-enhanced community events.
There are two more plant sales this month: April 20 & 27. All plants for sale are grown from seed in Campbell FFA’s greenhouse and are priced at $2. Lettuce and flowers are sold in bunches of 6 and are priced at $2 per bunch.
Profits from the sale will reach over 170 Westmont High School students in the program.
Bring the entire family and pick out some Spring essentials. Spend the day flexing your green thumb and don’t forget to say hi to the FFA Boosters who organize the event.
