A variety of annual and perennial bedding and flowering plants, as well as vegetable starts and hanging baskets grown in Battle Ground Public Schools’ greenhouses by students and staff, will be available for purchase at upcoming public sales beginning later this month.
Sales will be drop-in with no prior registration required, except for the Northwest Native Trees and Shrubs sale on the CASEE campus, which will include one day by appointment only and one day drop-in.
