The Olympia FFA will hold its annual plant
sale on Saturday, May 6 and Saturday, May 13, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
each day, at the high school greenhouse.

The
Olympia FFA members have worked hard throughout the year to get
plants ready for the sale. The FFA chapter is growing over 45 plant
varieties including annual flowers, perennials, vegetables, herbs,
and hanging baskets. Out of the 45 varieties, the wave petunias seem
to be the most popular.

Starting at the beginning of the second semester of
the school year, students in agriculture classes plant plugs and
seeds in the greenhouse to sell to the community. Then, throughout
the semester the students have taken care of the plants by watering
them, giving them fertilizer, and transplanting them when needed.

While all of the students work
hard to get the plants ready for the sale, a small group works
especially hard. This group is the greenhouse managers. The
2022-2023 group of greenhouse managers for Olympia are McKenna
Lally, Brooke Rogers, Kaitlynn Whitecotton and Trinity Weeks.
Along with the individual plants, the FFA is selling yard art
signs, and metal planters. These items were created with the
chapter’s CNC plasma cutting table.
If you would like to order a yard decoration or any sign please
contact the high school (309)379-5911 and ask for Mr. Hoffman or
email - bryce.hoffman@olympia.org.
All proceeds from the plant sale benefit the Olympia High School
FFA Chapter.
