US (PA): Student greenhouse open for business

Teens and Greens, a greenhouse off Molly Pitcher Highway, is run by students at Franklin County Career and Technology Center. The greenhouse opened for the season on Tuesday.

“We offer annuals, perennials, tomatoes and most vegetables,” said Nathanial Witmer, a junior at FCCTC and James Buchanan who works in the nursery. “We grow all these plants in our greenhouses at school. We water, prune and sell them. The only thing we don’t do is put it in the ground for you.”

The store, which is open to the public, offers the same kind of variety you’d find at a big box home improvement garden center, but on a slightly smaller scale.

Inventory ranges from typical annuals like geraniums, begonias and pansies to perennial coneflowers, fox glove, day lilly and lamb’s ear to shade-loving perennials such as coral bells and hostas for the flower garden.

Vegetable gardeners will find zucchini, tomatoes, peppers and more.
