Where are the plants coming from? Donations from a plant nursery or people that have plants they want to get rid of or they have grown themselves?

I believe the majority of them are plants that have been grown by the horticultural team of the tech center. The tech center has some very nice, big green houses. I will get more details on Monday once school opens back up and will post more details then.

Most of the plants have been grown by the students in the Horticulture Class, my daughter is a senior student there. I had bought quite a bit last year and they have a great variety of vegetables and flowering plants. It is supposed to be a gorgeous day on Saturday.
