The UVM Greenhouses have begun selling pansy mixes at the main campus location, to kick off spring plant sales. If you want to add some color to your space to get in the spring mood, you can visit the greenhouses from Monday to Thursday, 12:00 to 4:00 p.m., and Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Pansies are $4 for a 6-pack, or $20 for a flat (x6-6 packs). Stop in soon so you don’t miss out! Our regular houseplant sales have also started up, so if pansies aren’t your style come check out our many other options.

The Spring Plant Sale is Coming Up
