BATTLE GROUND — 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 beginning April 23.
This year, the sales at Battle Ground and Prairie high schools will be drop-in, with no registration required. The Northwest Native Trees and Shrubs sale on the CASEE campus will include one day by appointment only and one day open to the general public.
Money raised from these sales supports the district’s horticulture and FFA programs and welding teams. 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.

Main St. The high school’s Agriculture Department has a large selection of hanging baskets in various sizes available for sale this year. There will be a limited selection of other plants, including zonal geraniums, primrose, succulents, sedum flats and flowering patio pots. No annual bedding plants or vegetable starts will be available this year.
