Plant Fundraiser

We have a great opportunity to raise funds with very little effort, all while doing exactly what we would normally do anyway – plant some plants in our gardens this fall!  

 

It’s so easy.

 

We formed a partnership with North Shore Plant Club – and for every plant purchased over the next few months, they’ll donate 5% to us.  It will add up!  And it’s no work for us, which is best of all!

 

If you are considering adding some plants to your garden or thinking about making your front porch look more festive with some beautiful fall plants this season, please do so using our connection with North Shore Plant Club and help us realize our 2024 fundraising goals!

 

The Plant Club is great because it offers hundreds of plants direct from the nursery, in the quantities you want, for easy pickup or delivery.  

 

 

Use this link to sign up for our fundraising program and get ready to love your front porch and garden this fall!
