Jack Strodtman put together some awesome hanging baskets! He’s been taking great care of the plants. He’s really good at pinching them back to help them grow more full and get those big, beautiful blooms!
We're excited to keep showing off what everyone’s made! Each student put together 6 different hanging baskets, and
they’re all labeled so you can check out their individual style.
