The greenhouse at Woodland High School was transformed into a vibrant hub of color and community spirit this May as the 36th Annual FFA Plant Sale returned to a warm reception. For nearly four decades, this event has served as a cornerstone of the spring season, and 2026 proved to be another successful year.
The journey to the sale began months ago. Throughout the school year, FFA and Agriculture students worked diligently behind the scenes, getting their hands dirty to plant and maintain a massive variety of greenery. This year’s inventory featured:
While the plants were the main attraction, the sale also served as a "final exam" for essential life skills. Students stepped out of the greenhouse and into professional roles, managing every aspect of the retail experience. From customer service and sales slip preparation to cash handling and register management, the students gained hands-on experience in running a small business.

The success of the 36th Annual Sale would not have been possible without the unwavering support of our community. To the WHS staff, the student body, and the local residents who filled their carts—thank you. Your support ensures that our Agriculture program continues to grow as vibrantly as the plants we sell.
