School Council – Spring Plants
The WDP Fundraising Society has another fundraiser on the go, SPRING PLANTS! We know spring will eventually arrive in the city, and then leave, and then come back again to stay, so we have teamed up with Blue Grass again to provide some fantastic locally grown products to bring out some green at your homes. Tomatoes, herbs, strawberries, hanging baskets and patio planters! Orders have to be in by March 29th so they know how many plants to grow for us. Delivery won't be until May 21st (after May Long). Order here at this link: https://fundraising.bluegrassnursery.com/wdpratt/
