Spring Plant Sale at the Woodstock Union HS/MS Greenhouse
The Spring Plant Sale at the Woodstock Union HS/MS Greenhouse is coming up! The sale will run from May 1st-31st and be open from 9am-2pm on school days. We will be open late for school staff (until 6 pm) on Monday, May 6th.
We made a few really exciting changes this year. Students start more than half of our plants by seed but we do have to source some more difficult-to-start plants (think petunias and geraniums) from a nursery. This year, all of those plants came from a nursery that is neonicotinoid free (read more about the effects of neonicotinoids on pollinators here)! Students collected and sowed MANY native plants this year. Some will be available this spring and some will be available to pre-order for fall planting. See our full list of plants here.
This year, we will also be selling No Mow May signs and Fedco seeds for varieties that you may want to direct-sow in your garden.
We will be holding a plastic plant pot collection drive again. We can only reuse 4-pack and 4” square pots in good condition. We will accept other sized pots and broken pots (if they are #2 or #5 plastic) that we will recycle through a special program but they must be clean and sorted from the 4-pack and 4” pots that we can reuse. As always, bring cardboard boxes if you have them for transporting your plants to your car.
Please contact me with any questions.
Happy Spring!
