Help Willowwind Grow a Prairie

Grow a Prairie - Seed Fundraiser Begins
Did you know? Americans consistently rank gardening as a favorite hobby! Willowwind is excited to further foster our community's love for gardening. To do so, WIllowwind has partnered up with Seed Savers Exchange in Decorah, Iowa. Seeds Savers brings our community a wonderful opportunity to raise money for our own prairie efforts. Beginning, Tuesday, January 17th, students will participate in a fundraiser - selling seed collections to family, neighbors, coworkers, and community members. Each child will receive an catalog (with order form included). There are six collections of seed packets to choose from. At just $10 a collection, our own gardens are sure to thrive with beautiful annuals and delicious fruits and vegetables. Willowwind immediately receives 40% of all proceeds from this fundraiser! Fantastic!

From January 17th - January 30th help your child collect orders. Brainstorm with your family creative ways to market and sell seed collections. When collecting orders, money is due at the time of ordering. All checks should be made payable to Willowwind School. Turn in your child's order form on Tuesday, January 31st. You can drop it off with Ms. Amber or me. Orders will be compiled and a group order will be placed with Seed Savers. Within two or three weeks your child will receive their seeds for you to deliver to your "customers". Seed Savers highly recommends that all deliveries be completed no later than March 15th. Our timeline should ensure your the ability to do so with ease.
