There are full-size and ornamental pumpkins and gourds available, along with large and small mums, pansies and violas, snapdragons, perennials, and herbs.
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.
All items are in the school’s greenhouse, next to the community school behind Anderson County High School at 160 Maverick Circle, off North Charles G. Seivers Boulevard.
This is the second sale of the year for the school, which held its spring plant sale in March.
The event sale will continue until Oct. 2 or when the stock runs out, whichever comes first, said Kendra McCoig, agriculture teacher at the school.
Held 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, McCoig said.
For more information, stop by the school or call 865-457-7462 and ask for Ms. McCoig.
