Students Grow 275 Poinsettias

Horticulture Club Selling Holiday Plants through Dec. 8 The work of two students since early September is coming to fruition with 10 varieties of red, pink, white and mixed colored poinsettias in full bloom and completely filling one of Wilmington College’s greenhouses. PICTURED: Anna Buck (LEFT) and Renee Sherman examine one of the pink poinsettias in the midst of the sea of red, pink, white and mixed color plants. Horticulture Club members Anna Buck, a senior, and junior Renee Sherman are selling large ($15) and medium ($12) size poinsettias for the next week to benefit the Agriculture Dept. The students have been caring for 275 poinsettias since early September when their agriculture professor, Dr. Monte Anderson, approached them about taking on the project.
