Bulb Sales ~   A new fund raising event will be the flower blub sale in the fall, offering you exquisite flower bulbs for your gorgeous garden. When most of us think about flower bulbs, we think of tulips and daffodils, hyacinths and crocus.  These beautiful spring bulbs for sale are sold and planted in fall and bloom in early spring.  Our flower bulbs will honor your unique aesthetic and color preferences.

Raffle Ticket SalesOur non-profit organization holds a raffle every year during Garden Lover's Day, so everyone can count on and look forward to this annual raffle.  Every year the winnings get bigger.  Every year it becomes more popular and more people want to participate.   The prizes have included: restaurant gift certificates, hotel stays, local landmarks such as caverns or museums, nurseries and many others.   These items have been donated by local establishments.   

It takes some planning writing a letter requesting a prize donation for the raffle with the promise to advertise and acknowledge each business's generosity.  But It is great publicity for them, and we are very happy to oblige.
