2016 Plant Sale Online Store Open!
PIC Spring Plant Sale online store is open for business!
Browse the store for a great selection of houseplants, container plants, and pre-planted pots. There are plenty of choices for inside and out. We also have many new varieties of perennials, annuals and herbs!
Pre-sale campaign: March 21- April 15
We accept orders online and on old-school style paper order forms for the month prior to the Plant Sale. Buy in advance for the best selection and choice color combinations.
It is the pre-sale campaign that truly drives the success of the Plant Sale. Families across PIC are asked to reach out to their family, friends, neighbors and co-workers during this period.
PIC families can earn PPP hours by selling plants. NEW THIS YEAR: Earn 3 hours of PPP for selling $100 worth of plants! Earn an additional hour for ever $20 over $100 that you sell. Ask your "customers" to list you as the "seller" online or on a paper order form so you and your child's classroom get credit!
Classrooms that achieve 100% participation will receive a prize to enhance learning in their classrooms. During this pre-sale period, the seed of friendly competition is planted throughout PIC. Classrooms will band together and to try and have every family and teacher submit at least one pre-order.
There are also prizes for our top two individual sellers! In addition to getting hours of PPP, the top seller will win a large planter from Terrain. Our second place seller will receive a $25 gift card to The Dandelion, a STARR restuarant in Center City.
It's not all about the plants! What???? It's true. Even if your friends, family members, and co-workers don't have green thumbs, you can still ask that they support the sale. Raffle tickets are just $1 and this year's prize is a $100 gift certificate to Talula's Garden, fine seasonal-inspired fare in Washington Square.
