Proceeds from the plant sale help support CLC student scholarships and enhancements to the career programs.

Many of the plants have been raised from seed by CLC students and staff.

Customers can choose from annuals (ranging from alyssum to zinnias in six-packs and four-inch containers); hanging basket combos (such as begonias, impatiens and petunias); vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, peppers, tomatoes or squash (three packs and four-inch pots); and herbs such as basil, rosemary and thyme (three packs and four-inch pots.)

A wide variety of perennials are also available in six packs. A complete list of the plants on sale (with prices) is available on the College of Lake County Horticulture Department’s Facebook page.
