The Vegetable Project, in partnership with the wonderful Flower Power Fundraising company, is selling flower bulbs through Monday, Oct. 14. And we would be so grateful if you would take a look at the selection and consider buying a few bulbs. Please click here to find everything you need.
And why? Well, to contribute to our programs that create hands-on learning opportunities for Albany kids. And also, for all the pleasures in the world that come from planting bulbs or making them gifts for friends.
For example: The days will get shorter. And colder. Winter happens around here. Spring never comes as quickly as we’d like. Planting flower bulbs, however, helps us feel a bit better heading into the long chill. It gives us a great reason to stay outside in autumn’s cool days. And then, it will provide the first burst of color in your garden in the spring.
The Vegetable Project receives half of all proceeds raised by our sale of bulbs. And that means that you contribute to our work at teaching kids where their food comes from. It means that you support outdoor instruction. It means that you help us make a difference with kids who benefit from doing and touching and tasting and experiencing. And so much more.
