Preparing the greenhouse for the plant sale

Students in the Ornamental Plant Production and Marketing class, taught by Instructor Josh Kardos, prepared the greenhouse for the annual Horticulture Club spring plant sale.

Throughout the semester, students grew plants for the sale and were responsible for all aspects of production from setting up the greenhouse, to potting and maintenance, and adjusting greenhouse conditions.

During the class, students planned for production, explored the industry, discussed wholesale growing, retail and online sales, and performed financial analysis to evaluate the profitability of the plants they grew.
