FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR PLANT SALES
How can I schedule my plant sale fundraiser with Green Earth Growers?
Please call 952-447-4131 (or email info@greenearthgrowers.net) if you are planning to hold a
fundraiser so that we can get you on our delivery schedule as soon as possible. Ask for Jenny or
Jolea
How do I run a plant sale?
If you are experienced with plant fundraisers or if you have never run one before, we can
help you by offering suggestions on what to order. You can specify colors or we can give you
our popular grower's mix of colors.
What is the best way to take customer orders from our group?
Using pre-order forms is the most successful way to run your plant sale. Pre-order forms
should be distributed to your group 3-4 weeks prior to our due date. You must establish a
cut off date for your group so that you can mail, e-mail or fax us your final order by the
date specified.
How much do we upcharge on the plants?
You determine your own profit margin on all of our plants. We recommend you raise your prices
anywhere from 50-100% depending on your target market.
When do you need the final order totals by?
We need your final total numbers by April 5th at the latest.
What happens when my order gets delivered?
When your order is delivered you will need to have some "helpers" from your group on hand to
help you unload the truck. The driver will not unload the order by themselves. Please be sure
that you have enough help to sort orders and be sure to schedule pick-up for your own customers
several hours later--if not longer--to allow enough time to sort
What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept Visa, Mastercard, Check or Cash. Payment is due upon delivery, or call to establish a
credit.
Do you charge a delivery fee?
A $45 delivery charge will be added to each delivery. It is very important to include with
your order, a contact number and directions or a detailed map for our delivery drivers to use
for reference.
