How Fall Mums Can Help Your School, Team or Community Group Raise Money
Fall is just around the corner, and with it comes one of the most colourful seasons of the year.
It's also a great time for schools, sports teams and community groups to start thinking about fundraising.
At Bradford Greenhouses, our Fall Fundraising Program gives organizations an opportunity to raise money by selling something people already love to bring home every autumn: beautiful fall mums and seasonal planters.
We've been offering this program for many years, and we're excited to share it with more organizations in our community.
Here's how it works.
A Simple Way to Fundraise
Fundraising doesn't have to be complicated.
Our Fall Fundraising Program allows participating organizations to purchase fall mums and seasonal planters at a special fundraising price.
Your group can then sell the plants through your organization at a price you determine.
The difference becomes fundraising dollars for your school, team or community group.
It's a simple concept:
Purchase. Sell. Fundraise.
And because fall mums are already a seasonal favourite, you're offering your supporters something they can enjoy at home while supporting a cause they care about.
Who Is the Program For?
Our Fall Fundraising Program is ideal for organizations looking for a seasonal fundraising opportunity, including:
- Schools
- Sports teams
- Community groups
- Clubs
- Organizations
Whether you're raising money for equipment, activities, trips, programs or other community initiatives, a fall plant fundraiser can be a great way to bring your supporters together around the season.

The final ordering deadline is September 20, with mums shipping between September 18–20.
Plants are shipped with some colour already showing and in bud, helping ensure they travel well and provide plenty of time to enjoy their blooms.

Every organization has a reason for fundraising.
Maybe it's helping pay for a team tournament.

Grow Something Good
A beautiful fall mum can brighten someone's front porch.
But when that same mum helps fund a school, support a sports team or strengthen a community program, it becomes something even more meaningful.
That's what giving back is all about.
This fall, let's grow something good together.
Happy Gardening!
