Hart County High School FFA is having a one-day plant sale all day today from 8:30 am-6:30 pm.

The spring horticulture students have been working hard sowing seeds and transplanting plugs since early January.

They will have a variety of bedding annuals, perennials, vegetables, herbs, ferns, and hanging baskets.

The sale will be held at the new high school greenhouse beside the Hart County Board of Education.

According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac “Good Friday,” is the day to plant in the spring to have a successful growing season.

And this year, Good Friday is today.
