can you help me find a distributor for fundraising in north central Indiana Susan fundraising
Susan,
There are a few places I turn to for find plants. I use FGmarket.com and one of the particular vendors that might help you is the California Florida Plant Company. Another would be the Indiana Nurserymen’s Association and look at their list of growers or garden center members.
Another option would be to find a local poinsettia florist or a near-by Indiana florist who carries poinsettias and work some kind of deal with them. Hopefully one of these resources will help you. Good luck with your fundraiser.
Yes, can you help me find someone who does poinsettia funraising around the area of Shreveport,La?
Tiffany,
I know of a grower in Northwest Arkansas (Parks Brothers) that has a fundraising plant program and they go into Louisiana with this program. Poinsettias are one of the plants that they grow. However, this late in the season they many be sold out. Give Jason or Dwight a call. They will know if they have anything available.
You can also try the following wholesalers in Shreveport (I’m not sure what types of plants they wholesale so they many not have poinsettias but at least it is a good place to start.)
Griffith Wholesale Plants, Inc 9450 Forbing Rd (318)686-8778
McConnell Nursery (318)686-9462 mccnsy@shreve.net
Good luck with your search. Please let me know if you need anything else.
I am also looking for a distributor for a poinsettia fund-raiser. We are located in Northern Kentucky….25 min. south of Cincinnati, OH, 1 1/2 hours east of Louisville, KY and about 45 min- 1 hour north of Lexington, KY. Thanks so much for any information you can give.
Gina,
Along with the suppliers mentioned above (I believe Parks Brothers ships to Kentucky), try contacting the Kentucky Nursery Association.
