The plant sale supports the self-contained special needs classroom. The proceeds allow students to go on field trips, restaurant outings and other events in the community.

In addition to plants, painted ceramic pots, cheese trays, stepping stones and other products students made will be for sale.

Plants include tomatoes, peppers and herbs that are grown from seeds. Petunias and geraniums, asparagus ferns and other hanging ferns will be available. The greenhouse is called Perennial Promises. The Master Gardeners volunteer and assist students in work.

Layla Bullard, Seth Cartwright, Devon Deerman, Sara Ingle and Chase Luker will represent Davis-Emerson Middle School at the University of Alabama robotics contest on April 11. The students will also serve as mentors to other Davis-Emerson students as Legos are incorporated into the curriculum.
