We do! And...Spring is coming soon (please!) so we're beginning to get fundraising plans together. Our fundraising events can be very easy and profitable for your school/organization. In simple terms, you choose a Clover's Garden Center location, a weekend from our list of available dates, then, once your application is approved, distribute the Clover's Fundraising flyer customized for your organization, and start earning funds, as your group makes purchases during their fundraising weekend! We encourage you to please visit our website fundraising page at http://www.cloversgardencenter.com/fundraising.html for a full explanation of our program, or e-mail: contact@cloversgardencenter.com. We, at Clover's, want to do everything we can to make this the best, easiest, and most profitable fundraiser possible. Historically, during tough economic times, gardening enjoys a surge in popularity. Don't miss a great opportunity for your school/organization to benefit. Remember, the key to this fundraiser is to PROMOTE, PROMOTE, PROMOTE. Many members of your group are probably shopping at Clover's anyway, take advantage of this opportunity to increase funds for your organization, too! Thanks for your time, and see you in the Spring....

It appears that the Ground Hog has seen its shadow this year, so we, the gardeners of the greater Chicagoland area, are in for 6 more weeks of dreaming about Spring (or 6 more weeks of winter for the rest of the folks). At Clover's Garden Center, we are getting busy, preparing this year's selection of flowers, vegetables, perennials, grasses, roses, and shrubs. We are also doing some construction work on our website to better serve your needs. Please join us, by subscribing to our blog - for fun, interesting, and useful gardening advice. Who knows, we may even announce some special sales, too! http://www.cloversgardencenter.com/ http://www.cloversgardencenter.com/
