The forecast says the Central Valley may be through with April showers for 2026, and that means it’s just about time for May flowers.
You can find those may flowers at the third annual Denair FFA Spring Plant Sale.
On Saturday, May 2, from 8 a.m. to noon, visit the Denair FFA greenhouse and ag shop – 3431 Lester Road – to pick up a variety of flowers: sweet alyssum, zinnias, marigolds, cosmos, petunias, vincas.
You can also find fruits and vegetables (tomatoes, jalapeños, hot peppers, sweet peppers, zucchini, squash, watermelon, snap peas, artichokes, onions), as well as an assortment of herbs (rosemary, parsley, chives, dill, basil, oregano, thyme, sage, cilantro, chamomile).
All proceeds benefit the Denair FFA program.
Local vendors – Cup of Kindness, Denair Floral, Aaliyah’s Cookies, Wyatt’s Succulents, Cook’s Burgers – will be on site during the event.
“We also have the FFA banquet coming up on May 12 at 6 p.m. in the Denair Middle School cafeteria,” said FFA advisor Melinda Rohn. “We’ll honor one of the mothers – an FFA Sweetheart – and a father, and the floral class will help with the decorations. It will be quite an event.”
In the lead-up to the plant sale, the FFA program will hold a flag football game and ice cream social on Friday, April 24, at 6:30 p.m. at the field behind the ag shop.
And if that flag football game isn’t enough for you, don’t forget the annual Powder Puff football game on Monday, April 27. Kickoff is slated for 6 p.m. at the Jack Lytton Stadium.
