Plant fundraiser for CP Seeley Park!

Spring officially arrived and planting season is just around the corner, and the ACA is bringing you another exciting fundraiser for our CP Seeley Park Enhancement project!

We have partnered with Growing Smiles Fundraising and DeVry Greenhouses so you can purchase beautiful flowers, herbs and vegetable plants at an excellent price all while supporting your community! Plants and flowers are an excellent way to get outdoors with your family; and a garden, no matter the size, is a wonderful tool to teach children where our food comes from and about eating healthy.

Please visit our fundraising website: https://avalon.growingsmilesfundraising.com/home and check out the variety of products we have to offer. Everything, with the exception of the hanging basket, patio planter and strawberry plant, comes in a pack of 10. Chat with your neighbour(s) or friend(s) about sharing to spread the variety!

You can also complete an order form by contacting [email protected], or click on an image below to print your own & see more information.

All orders and payment are due by May 5, 2020. Pick up of orders is on May 19 from 5 – 7 PM at 308 Wilson Cres. If you have any questions, or need more information, please contact us!

Thank you for supporting the ACA and the CP Seeley Park Enhancement Project!
