Horticulture Club Winter Sale
By Nicky Frazier, 12/05/05

The Horticulture Club’s annual Winter Sale is coming up. The sale will take place on Dec. 8 in the Anheuser Busch Natural Resources building lobby. The sale may continue through Dec 9, depending on availability.

At the Winter Sale, the Horticulture Club will be selling poinsettias in a variety of colors. There will be approximately 100 to 150 red poinsettia plants, with a few pink and white also being sold. Members of the Horticulture Club will be running the sale, with the newly elected president, Amanda Brinker at the helm.

Prices for the poinsettias have not yet been determined, but the use for the profits has. The club hopes to raise enough money for a special trip.

“This year we’re hoping to attend MACHS (Mid-American Collegiate Horticultural Society) at the University of Illinois at the Champaign-Urbana campus. It’s a national horticulture event with plant judging and other various contests,” Maria Bellrose, former president of the Horticulture Club, said.

If you are looking to fill your home or dorm with some holiday cheer, head on over to the Horticulture Club’s Winter Sale and pick up your own MU-grown poinsettia.
