🌸 LAST DAY TO ORDER! 🌸

Our 2026 Spring Fundraiser, in partnership with BloomBox, is coming to an end! BloomBox is a local online garden center that sells perennials, planted containers, shrubs, trees, bagged soil and mulch, herbs and veggies, hanging baskets, and more. You can order these things at www.getblooming.com, and they will deliver them by hand, right to your home!

🌸 Use the code JENKINTOWN15 when you place your order now! This event runs from today through May 31st, and you can order as many times as you like. When you order your plants from BloomBox, they will donate 15% of your purchase amount directly to us. We are so excited about this fundraiser because it’s an easy way for us to raise money, and all of you have the opportunity to purchase beautiful spring plants, have them delivered, and support a local business at the same time. It’s a win-win for everyone!
