Everything from upside-down tomatoes to double-petal Sarah Bernhardt peonies, or deer-resistant double-bloom daffodils to brightly colored Mignon dahlias for your patio pots are offered to everyone who purchases them from a public school student vying to win this fundraising contest between now and March 12.
All items are from just $10 to $30 and 50% of every purchase goes directly toward funding the Orcas Island Farm to Cafeteria Program. The classroom collecting the most orders will be treated to a pizza party, and the individual collecting the most orders will receive a cash prize.
Elementary teacher Anne Ford McGrath and high school Junior Iris Parker-Pavitt will be spearheading the drive. “This is a great chance to get a head start on your late Spring through Fall gardens while benefiting our growing Farm to Cafeteria Program,” says Anne Ford, who is also a Farm to Cafeteria Committee Member.
You may also be getting an email from a student you know inviting you to make purchases from the convenience of your home online. All orders made either face-to-face or online are shipped directly to your home or, if you wish, to friends or other family members as gifts in as little as five days from their receipt of your order. All items are from just $10 to $30. Flower Power Fundraising offers only the finest, best-quality bulbs and plants available from growers in Holland and the U.S. and an unconditional, 100% money-back guarantee.
