US (AK): Healy teen runs greenhouses and sells flowers, vegetables

When BJ Yanuchi was in fifth grade, he set up a card table in the elementary wing of Tri-Valley School to sell seedlings. The next spring, he set up a table in the parking lot of a local gas station to sell plants. This year, he worked from home and sold flowers and vegetables from his four greenhouses.

This would be a big step for any high schooler, but for Yanuchi, a teen with autism, it is quite remarkable. He sold out of bedding flowers the first day. “I was very surprised,” he said. “I never thought I would do this well.”
