Rooted Schools Spring Campaign

Spring Campaign

For the spring campaign, collaborate with a Network farm to fund your school project by offering organic vegetable plants to students’ parents and collaborators of your institution!


Registration: January to late February
Basket sales campaign: Last 3 weeks of March
Delivery of plants to your institution: Mid-May to early June

A turnkey program

Our program is simple to implement and supports local organic agriculture!

Vegetable plants are sold in predefined combos, based on a small, medium and large structure. In this way, buyers can choose the combo that best suits their planting space! (see our drawing!)

Balcony Combo – 5 plants – $30

Small Garden Combo – 10 plants – $60

Large Garden Combo – 15 plants – $90

Delivering vegetable plants in your setting is a unique opportunity for education and awareness about healthy, local and sustainable food among youth, their families and your institution’s staff! Decorate the space, play music, prepare a photo booth and invite youth to take part in the distribution!

Good to know: 25% of revenue from plant sales goes to your institution

STEPS

  1. You register your institution using this form (following approval from your institution’s administration)
  2. We find a Network farm that can produce and deliver your vegetable plants
  3. You determine the project to be funded and create the campaign
    • the institution’s administration creates an account on the Fabrique à Projets fundraising platform (powered by Desjardins and designed specifically for school fundraising campaigns) – first year of participation only*
    • the project leader creates the online fundraising page
  4. You promote the campaign to students’ parents and other school collaborators
  5. You send the order to the farm (late March)
  6. The big day has arrived and you carry out the distribution at your institution with the help of your family farmer!
