Another Great Plant Fundraiser

Well, we had another great success at our plant fundraiser yesterday in Bonsall, CA.  We made just over $600, AGAIN!  And the good ol' SoCal July Heat just about wilted the volunteers instead of the plants. However, we are thrilled over the excellent progress in our fundraising efforts. We would like to thank all the businesses that donated plants:  Grangettos, Cal Cactus, R.D. Jones Landscape Construction, Maker of Natural Gardens, Mike's Flowers and Palm South Nursery.  We encourage all our supporters to visit our sponsors and partners for all your gardening needs, please click on any of the business names to be directed to their websites.  Once again, BEF would like to acknowledge all the volunteer support who puts these events together, our Garden Committee, friends, family, PTA members and teachers, you all did a fabulous job! 

BUT WAIT.....We still have plants available for sale!! 
We were unable to sell all the inventory that we received from the local nurseries so we need your help to sell it via word of mouth or email.  Please come back to this site this weekend to read a list of trees we have availble for just a $10 donation or the list of vegatables and succulants that are yours for an even smaller donation!  Check back in a couple of days, after we've taken stock of everything that is still availble.  Thank you for your support!

Our First Fundraiser Success!

Our Plant, Flower & Cookbook Fundraiser at Hot Summer Nights in Downtown Fallbrook, CA was a HUGE success!  We want to thank Waterwise Botanicals, Mikes Flowers and Carol's Garden for donating all the beautiful plants and flowers and Lauren Brimmer for donating a large quantity of her highly rated cookbook.  The fundraiser was our first blush at getting our garden started and we now have some seed money to get the ball rolling.  We appreciate everyone who stopped by and took the time to hear us talk about the garden project and we hope to see everyone at our next major fundraiser at Daniel's Market on July 11th.  Special note of appreciation for all the Bonsall Sprout Garden Committee members and Bonsall Education Foundation Volunteers who helped get this event together in such a short time frame and generate interest in the program (Andrea Bruninger, Jennifer Smith, Jaime Pacheco & Rachel Thomas - Our Garden Committee Chairpersons, and our resident Garden Diva who we would not have been able to do half as good without - Lisa Lane)  All you ladies Rock the Garden better than Gnomes!
