Reservations are required to purchase plants at the Prairie High School sale, while Battle Ground is offering a first-come, first-served sale. For everyone’s health, COVID-19 safety protocols will be in place at the sales, including the requirement that everyone wear masks. Thank you for helping us to keep our community safe.Â
Money raised from these sales supports the district’s horticulture and FFA programs and welding teams. While the variety of plants available for purchase is limited this year due to the pandemic, there are still many items to purchase that will spruce up your garden this spring and summer.
Students and staff from Battle Ground High School; Prairie High School; and the FFA program grow tens of thousands of plants each year. Some of these plants are used in landscaping projects on school campuses, while the rest are sold at annual public sales.
