(ARA) - The arrival of fall means families everywhere are getting ready to send the kids back to school. That means that fundraising events can't be far behind, as students selling wrapping paper, candy, magazines and other products raise money used to supplement school budgets.
While everyone likes to support a good cause like education, a household only needs so much wrapping paper. Schools and other organizations looking for an innovative twist on fundraising may be interested in a new program available from Dutch Gardens. The company, a direct-to-consumer purveyor of top-quality bulbs, helps organizations make money by selling tulips, daffodils, hyacinths and other spring-flowering bulbs. Not only does the program help raise funds, but it also beautifies the yards, gardens and public spaces of the community.
For this new program, endorsed by the National Gardening Association, Dutch Gardens has carefully selected easy-to-plant, easy-to-grow bulbs from among their most popular and best selling varieties. The company's Fundraising Program Kit includes: full-color brochures, collection envelopes, a chairperson checklist and master order sheet. Also, fundraising experts at Dutch Gardens are available to answer questions and help make the fundraising campaign a success. All orders come complete with ample planting and care instructions.
Unlike other fundraising programs, Dutch Gardens doesn't require a minimum order to qualify or confusing discount strategies. The free shipping policy saves an organization an additional 10 percent over other programs. The company's 100 percent satisfaction guarantee also applies to bulbs purchased through their fundraising program. If any bulbs fail to meet expectations, the company offers a replacement or exchange, whichever is preferred.
The National Gardening Association (NGA) is the largest nonprofit association of home, school and community gardeners in the United States. NGA has been helping food and flower enthusiasts become better gardeners for more than 30 years with award-winning publications, education programs and web sites. This marks the first time that the NGA has endorsed a gardening fundraising program.
Dutch Gardens, a direct-to-consumer bulb importer with headquarters in Holland and Vermont, has been working directly with Dutch growers for more than 40 years, and is proud that their bulbs are harvested, graded, selected, and packed right in Holland, and then shipped directly to customers to assure excellent performance in the garden.
