CVTC hosts annual spring plant sale
Mother’s Day is right around the corner. Students at Chippewa Valley Technical College have you covered. They’ve cultivated annual flowers, herbs, succulents and vegetables for the annual Plant Sale Monday, May 2, and Tuesday, May 3. Containers and baskets will also be available.
“Students decide what to grow and how to sell the plants,” said Susan Frame, landscape and horticulture instructor. “I’m proud of the students for their skills in growing the plants and their business sense in selling them. There is a lot involved for students to coordinate to have plants ready for the sale.”
WHAT: CVTC Plant Sale
WHEN: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday, May 2, and Tuesday, May 3
WHERE: Energy Education Center Greenhouse, 4000 Campus Road, Eau Claire
