April Showers Bring May Flowers for Girls Inc.

All proceeds support the continued development of Girls Inc.’s programs to inspire girls in the community to be strong, smart, bold, and grow into confident women.

Spring is here and it is once again time to order gorgeous flowers and hanging baskets. Girls Inc.'s 32nd Annual Flower Sale arrives just in time to pick up a beautiful hanging basket of wave petunias or glorious geraniums for Mother’s Day! Feedback from past buyers includes comments that hanging baskets last well into the fall, and geraniums have even been known to come back the next year.

This year, we're offering geraniums or petunias in 4" pots with many blooms. Our 10" hanging baskets are available in mixed geraniums, petunias, fuchsias, and a "grower's choice" mix.
