I am
planning a School Garden with my Science Club. I am a beginning
Gardener but I am a very enthusiastic learner. I want to design a
garden with the natural regions of California - mountain region,
desert region, valley region and coastal region with a small
section of scented plants. I would like to grow native California
plants, planting a colorful habitat for butterflies and birds. The
kids are very excited and we have started growing some seeds in 4
inch pots. I am waiting to convert a small grass area to a school
garden. I need help in designing the garden, making sure the
colors and heights of the plants are coordinated. Is it possible
for your nursery to consider donating some native plants for our
garden ? Do you have experts who come out and help schools
establish gardens? |
I'm
sorry but we are completely overwhelmed, no time no extra plants
(Everyone assumes we're a huge operation with staff and money,
nope, just a few native plant nuts working their tails off for
next to nothing. I like to think of it as the zoo, with no
keepers.) here is grant money(s) out there for a project like
yours

- To
whom it may concern:
-
I was referred to your company by the Arbor Day Foundation in
regards to a Donation of a Tree. I don't have to necessary funds
to purchase a tree, so I am trying to secure a donation of one. I
am looking for a large tree to be planted in my front yard. If
you can help me with this matter, can you please contact me at
your earliest convenience. Thank you for your time regarding this
matter.

I could use a new pick up, you donate one of those and I'll
give you a tree. |
