MCC Ag Club selling hanging baskets

 

If you’re looking to spruce up your “Midnight Dreams,” take in a “Lakeside Sunset” or a “Mountain View,” you won’t want to miss the hanging baskets sale by Montcalm Community College’s Ag Club.

Ag Club members are selling six different varieties of hanging baskets this spring. All the plants are grown in the greenhouse on the college’s Sidney campus. They will be available for pickup on May 5. Each basket is $18 or 2 for $30.

Here’s a look at what varieties are available:

Midnight Dreams – Deep and soft purples fill this pot surrounded by little flashes of white stardust as if it is begging for us to enjoy those endless summer nights ahead.

Lakeside Sunset – Filled with yellows, deep pinks, and a splash of deep brown, this basket makes you think of sitting on the dock watching the sunset as a child.

Mountain View – This angelic white basket will make you think of a stroll in a mountain meadow with the whites of the flowers matching the white capped mountains around you.

Berries-N-Cream – Big pink Calliope Crimson Flame deep pink geraniums are mixed with Bombay White Trailing Scavola and Euphorbia Star Dust.

Summer Fruit – This pot is filled with the colors of your favorite summer fruits making you think of sitting on the front porch eating a fresh slice of grandma’s blueberry/peach pie.

Mango Magic – Oranges, pinks and yellows of this pot transport you to sipping a tropical smoothie on a hot summer day. Filled with Atomic Orange and Tangerine Calibrachoa, and Mango Twist Purslane.

Hanging baskets can be purchased by cash or check. Visit montcalm.edu/plant-sale for more information and an order form or email Michelle Gibson at michelle.gibson@montcalm.edu.
