Horticulture Technology instructor Vicki Toro said the plants for the popular plant sale at Westfield Technical Academy are ready to go. While the rain got the plantings off to a slow start last year, this year they are busting out of the greenhouses.
“I’m amazed at the plants this year,” said Technical Assistant Jennifer Ryan. “Everything is bigger and better this year.”
The Annual Spring Plant Sale runs Tuesday, May 5, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Wednesday and Thursday, May 6 and 7, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., and on Friday, May 8, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. If any plants are left over, the sale will be open on Saturday, May 9, from 8 to noon.
Featured are beautiful hanging baskets, $22 for most with larger spiral planters available; herb planters for $15, and vegetable and other annuals in 7-inch pots for $7. Toro said there are 10 different types of tomato plants, plus lots of different peppers, broccoli, cauliflower, eggplant, strawberries and lots of flowers.
“Get here early, especially this year,” Toro said. Customers should enter the school by the Greylock Street entrance next to the municipal park, where there is often a line for the sale. Freshmen and seniors in horticulture will run it and help bring plants to cars. Ryan said they can only accept cash and checks for the plants.
Proceeds from the plant sale will benefit the horticulture department.
