Fundraising Committee

The club depends on funding received from membership dues, community donations, retailer contributions, and annual fundraising event. As in any garden, many hands make light work, so we ask ALL club members to be involved in fundraising. This committee organizes events, such as, plant sales, herbs in containers, etc., that will generate funds to help support the efforts of the club.

Green Team

Green Team works closely with Plant Sales. Members dig and pot perennials from members’ gardens to sell, coordinate digs and potting sessions, maintain the holding beds, keep records on type and number of plants held, and prepare tags for plant sale displays. Plant digs and potting sessions may be in the fall or spring and are scheduled at various times of the day so all members can participate.

Green Team also transports, stores, and cares for items donated to the club for fundraising.

Plant Sale

Members plan and organize plant sales, soliciting donations from membership and the public, and working closely with the Green Team. Purchase annuals, herbs, vegetables, and hanging plants from local nurseries to sell for a profit; keeping notes about suppliers, quantities of plants ordered, and prices. Works with the treasurer on expenditures and the collection of money from sales. Sends “thank you notes” where applicable.
