Those are in addition to large and small mums, pansies and violas, snapdragons, perennials, and herbs that will be sold from the school’s greenhouse, next to the community school, which is behind Anderson County High School, at 160 Maverick Circle, off North Charles G. Seivers Boulevard.
It’s the second sale of the year for the school, which held its spring event in March. The event sale will continue weekdays and Saturdays until Oct. 2 or when stock runs out, whichever comes first, said Kendra McCoig, agriculture teacher at the school.
Sales hours are 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. weekdays, and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays. The school accepts cash and checks, but no debit or credit cards.
Intended to raise money for agriculture programs at the school, the sale is coordinated by McCoig, with agriculture students helping conduct the event.
Clinch River Community School has students from kindergarten through 12th-grade, and is part of Anderson County Schools.
Money raised from the plant sale goes right back into the agricultural educational programs for Clinch River students.
For more information, stop by the school or call 865-457-7462 and ask for Ms. McCoig.
