Burnet community members were given a chance to up their garden game on Wednesday, April 8, at Burnet Middle School’s second spring plant sale, hosted by students, faculty, and volunteers from the Highland Lakes Master Gardener Association.
The plant sale, held from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the BMS Greenhouse, featured freshly-grown tomatoes, peppers, vegetables, herbs, and several houseplants and shrubs.
Plants were sold for $3 each for 4 inch pots and six packs, and $8 each for hanging baskets.

All of the plants and products sold at the sale were planted, watered, and grown by BMS students who have worked on the garden as an extracurricular activity. Gardeners ranged from hobbyist beginners to pseudo-experts.
Jace Stern, a seventh grader at BMS with a plethora of knowledge on plant species and their growth patterns, helped DailyTrib staff pick out plants at the sale. Stern helped identify several low-maintenance options and narrow in on two coleus plants.
Seventh grader Bailey Matzker chimed in on her love of the multi-colored coleus plant near the check-out. Matzker joined the gardeners at the beginning of the year, and has enjoyed the process.
The BMS plant sale is one of several sales that the Master Gardener Association helps run, including similar events at schools in Kingsland and Marble Falls.
For those that missed this sale, another is sure to be on the way soon in Burnet, or residents can stop by one of Marble Falls High School’s upcoming plant sales on April 22 and May 8.
