Utah is home to thousands of species of native plants, and a few of them are available for sale on campus. The botany club is currently hosting its biannual plant sale, which continues through today in the science lab building.

The botany department students and staff grew all the selections of plants, which range in price from $3-$25. A large tree, along with a few other plants, is being offered in a silent auction. Proceeds will go to support the botany club and scholarships for the department.

Every spring semester, the botany club holds the sale to spring-clean the greenhouse, and all plants must go.
