How Selling Flowers Became a School Fundraiser

Reasons to consider selling flowers for your next campaign.

Selling flowers as a fundraiser started when Gardener’s Supply and Dutch Gardens decided to join forces. Together, they can provide flower bulbs and plants from growers in Holland and the United States.

By adding a fundraising component, their objective was to enhance an existing school awards program that would get students more directly involved in gardening while simultaneously allowing them to raise money for various necessities. Flower sales campaigns offer many advantages compared to other programs. What follows are two benefits of flower fundraising.

1. Flowers are Unique and Fun to Sell

Selling flower bulbs was an instant success. Students quickly discovered that flowers were easy and fun to sell. People embraced the idea of enhancing the beauty of their environment while supporting a good cause. It wasn’t long before organizations like church groups and cheerleader sponsors wanted to start selling flower bulbs.
