The Miss Hall’s School Greenhouse is chock full, and MHS 9th-graders are eager to share the results of their hard work!

The annual Horizons Plant Sale will be held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, May 24, at the Ara West Grinnell, Class of 1901 Greenhouse, on the School’s 492 Holmes Road campus. Proceeds from the sale support the philanthropic efforts of the MHS 9th-grade class.

This year’s sale includes varieties of annuals (flowers and foliage), native perennials, veggies (including tomatoes!), herbs, tisanes, and dahlias, many sold in hand-thrown pots, also created by the Class of 2028!

For more than thirty years, the 9th Grade Plant Sale, held as part of Miss Hall’s nationally acclaimed Horizons program, has encouraged collaboration, creativity, leadership, and entrepreneurship among MHS students, who also learn basic horticulture skills while selecting seeds, planting them, transplanting seedlings, and caring for plants.

Horizons takes place from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. each Wednesday during the academic year. The program begins with on-campus community service projects in the 9th grade, introduces off-campus elements during sophomore year, builds on nonprofit volunteerism as a junior, and concludes with a senior-year internship or independent project, typically tailored to a student’s college and/or career interests.
