On Feb. 26, the Hillsboro FFA Greenhouse Management class took a field trip to Patchwork Gardens Greenhouses in Washington Court House.
The chapter purchased plugs to plant in their greenhouse to sell during the annual flower sale in the spring. The students who attended were given a tour of the greenhouses. During the tour, they were able to see how seeds are planted with various machines and the multiple stages they go through in order to germinate and grow.

Toward the end of their visit at the greenhouses, the students were able to pick out additional plugs and flats that they think customers will like, and they purchased them to take back to plant in their greenhouse.
Every year, the Greenhouse Management class goes to Patchwork Gardens to purchase plugs. The students always look forward to seeing how larger greenhouses operate in order to produce flowers that are sent all over the United States.
