The Hillsboro FFA is having a poinsettia sale beginning Nov. 30 through Dec. 17.

The community is invited to purchase red poinsettias at Hillsboro High School, where the Greenhouse Management Class will be selling them Monday-Friday from 7 a.m.-3 p.m.

Poinsettias are $9 each or $7 each if you purchase three or more. The money received from the poinsettia sale is used to support the Greenhouse Management Class by covering the cost of the materials and appliances for the next sale. Delivery is available if needed.

The poinsettia sale is a project for the Greenhouse Management Class. The students of the class are each assigned an advertisement, a marketing project, a sales plan and are expected to accomplish certain jobs around the greenhouse. The class purchases the plugs of poinsettias and practices the best processes of planting, fertilizing, pinching and pest management.

“I am looking forward to seeing if the hard work of the class will pay off through our sales,” Hunter Chain, a member of the class, said.

The Greenhouse Management Class is just one of the many FFA classes Hillsboro High School has to offer.

For any questions or to purchase a poinsettia, call 937-393-3485 ext. 1580 or 1582.
