Readying for spring at FFA Greenhouse

Sunday, January 27, 2013

Even though the temperatures are below freezing and will continue like that for several weeks, students in Dexter's Agriculture Greenhouse class are planning for spring. On Jan. 24 and 25, students potted 100 hanging baskets of geraniums and 50 hanging baskets of impatiens.
