We have used Dutch Mill Bulbs for the past few years and have been very happy with them. It is 50% profit and, last year, everything was $6. I have bought some of the bulbs myself and they grow very well year after year. They have fall and spring products, so you decide which works best with your fundraising schedule.
I REALLY wish you would have posted this earlier today! We don't do a bulb fundraiser, but we do a Spring Flower Sale. We order from a local wholesale grower (found in the yellow pages) and get each plant for less than $1 and sell them for $2. I just placed a base order of several hundred plants this morning! Doesn't bring in a whole lot of money, but the kids really enjoy picking out plants. It is a lot of work for little profit for us.
That being said, when I saw your post, I Googled "flower bulb fundraiser" and came up with
Van Bourgondien - Dutch Bulbs and Perennials Since 1893
. They offer 50% profit for fundraising and if you download the PDF brochure on the fundraising page, there is a sample order form, and it looks like everthing is $10. I ordered a fundraising kit for myself to see if I would be interested in this for next year. Hope this helps!
We are thinking of trying a flower bulb fundraiser next year and I was hoping to hear from any of you who have tried one in the past.
We generally sell Entertainment Books, gift wrapping and cookie dough as our "trifecta" of fundraisers, but I think our community is getting a little tired of the same old, same old. If we could replace one of these with a bulb sale I would be all over it!
