Boyle County FFA students planted hundreds of flowers in the government circle at Constitution Square Thursday with help from the Garden Club of Danville. The flowers are purchased by the Boyle County Fiscal Court annually. The FFA greenhouse raised the flowers, the landscape class installed them and the FFA students will maintain them.
