  • Tuesday, March 25, 2025

The 2025 Spring Plant Sale at Georgia Northwestern Technical College (GNTC), an annual tradition in Rome, will be held April 7-11.

The sale will begin on Monday, April 7, at 8 a.m. and end at 4 p.m. The sale will continue Tuesday, April 8, through Friday, April 11, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. or until plants sell out.

Nick Barton, director of Horticulture at GNTC, advises that the plants frequently sell out before the last day of the sale.

“We have a huge selection of flowering annuals and perennials,” he said.

Purchases may be made with cash or check. Credit cards are not accepted.

The sale is a way for GNTC to contribute to the community while giving Horticulture students real-world experience and an opportunity to display their work. All proceeds from the plant sale will benefit the Horticulture program at GNTC.

Items being sold include annuals, perennials, vegetables, herbs, hanging baskets, blooming plants and geraniums. The vegetable plants will include tomato, pepper, ghost pepper, squash, cucumber, zucchini, cantaloupe and watermelon. Flowering plants include impatiens, dianthuses, petunias, marigolds, SunPatiens, lantana and million bells.

Flowers, herbs and vegetables will cost $5 for a four-pack or $35 for a flat containing four packs. Mixed flats of flowers and vegetables will also be $35.

Hanging baskets will cost $13 each, 6-inch pots will be $6 each, and 4-inch pots will be $4. Hibiscus will cost $10.

The sale will take place at the greenhouses located across from GNTC’s Floyd County Campus in Rome, next to the Woodlee Building.
