  Mission Statement

Plant Hardiness Zones

 

Set a specific goal.

It is important that you set a goal, of how many packages you are going to sell, per participant that is reachable.

Let people know what you are raising money for.

  I am raising money for ……………………………………… For every $ 5.00 I sell,   $ 2.75 goes directly to my Organization.

Show and tell people what they get.

Tell them “The Story”.  All items (except for Tulips) in the Fall do come back for years to come.  All Perennials in the Spring will come back year after year.  Each season the items change, so after several years people will have quite an assortment in their garden with various blooming times.  A candy bar is gone in no time, however, flowers that bloom in your garden, you see every day.  Planting and caring for flowers reduces stress.  They also make beautiful gifts.

Have other people help you sell.

Ask your parents and others to take an orderform to work with them. Also talk to Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles, Local business people, people you go to church with, sports team members, dentist, doctor, hairdresser, etc.

Be courteous.

Show courtesy and gratitude to all supporters, regardless of how many packages they purchased. Ensure timely and accurate delivery to your supporters when the product is received.

Have fun.

Have a great time selling a product that is unique to your supporters compared to what other organizations are selling.

Questions and answers…

How long will it take for the people to receive their order?

About 2 weeks after turning in the order.  The order will be shipped directly to your organization for distribution to your supporters..

What if someone wants to donate money, but not take any bulbs?

Take their donations and write “donation only” on the orderform.

If I have other questions, whom should I ask?
