Buy bulbs!

Hello Trillium Families:

We are launching our annual fall flower bulb, amaryllis and paperwhite sale to raise funds for the garden program. While we are farther away from the garden we intend to work it for another year and we are raising funds for:

· A student project selling produce (grown at the old garden) at the Interstate Farmers market this spring and summer

· Creating a bioswale to filter roof runoff in the west planter off Interstate

· Designing and planting an edible permaculture forest on the east bank off Maryland

· Saving for our huge long term project – A ROOF GARDEN!

We need your support. The garden program is run entirely from the proceeds of our fundraisers and grants – we have no dedicated budget for it.

So – beautify your home, purchase gifts for the holidays and support the Trillium garden program all at the same time!

It is not too late to plant in the NW. There are tulips, crocus, hyacinth, iris, anemone, narcissus, amaryllis and paperwhites.

Sale starts: Mon 11/6

Sale Ends: Friday 11/17

Bulbs delivered: Monday 11/27

Brochures and order forms are in the take home file folders. Please deliver completed order forms with checks to the front desk.

You can also order on line by going to:

http://www.touchofnature.com/fundraising/fall_d_online.htm

Include our special code – 47700 – so we receive the profits.

Bulbs ordered on line can be shipped directly to your home or other family member, neighbor or friend.


Thank you! Arianne
