Starkville Revives Holiday Cheer with Annual Poinsettia Sale at MSU

Starkville Blooms with Poinsettias: Holiday Tradition Returns

In the vibrant city of Starkville, Mississippi, the holiday season is getting a burst of color thanks to a delightful tradition at Mississippi State University. The annual Holiday Poinsettia Sale, hosted by the university’s Horticulture Club, is back and creating festive cheer for local residents.

A Flourishing Fundraiser

This year, the dedicated members of the Horticulture Club have put their green thumbs to work, raising around 500 stunning plants for their much-anticipated fundraiser. But this sale isn’t just about selling beautiful flowers; it’s also about growth—both for the plants and the students involved.

The funds raised during the sale are vital, supporting scholarships, career development opportunities, and various activities that enrich the club’s mission. Every poinsettia purchased goes a long way in helping students pursue their dreams in horticulture.

More than Just Red

This year, the sale showcases a delightful array of colors and varieties. From pretty pinks to crisp whites, and even a unique variety known as Christmas Mouse, which features charming round leaves, there’s something to catch everyone’s eye and complement their holiday décor.

Learning While Growing

The President of MSU’s Horticulture Club mentions that this sale serves as more than just a fundraiser; it’s a vital learning experience for club members. The passionate students have been nurturing these plants since they were “itty-bitty” in September, gaining hands-on experience in greenhouse care and plant maintenance.

Connect with the Community

As the holiday season ramps up, the vibrant community spirit in Starkville shines through. Residents are encouraged to reflect on all the hard work that goes into bringing beauty to their homes during this special time of year.
