OCC students gear up for Poinsettias sale

Poinsettias grown by Orange Coast College horticulture students

will be on sale on the school’s campus Dec. 5 and 6.

Horticulture students grew approximately 12,000 plants in five

greenhouses to get ready for the sale. Students planted them in

September and have been nurturing them for the annual sale.

Red, white, pink, burgundy and other color plants will be sold in

four, six and 10-inch pots. They cost from $5 to more than $40.

Hanging baskets and centerpieces will also be for sale.

The sale will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily. Horticulture

Garden is just off Adams Avenue, adjacent to the college’s Technology

Center.

All proceeds from the sale are earmarked to fund student projects.

A live video cam that shows plants growing in one of the college’s

greenhouses can be accessed on OCC’s Web site at
