Spring 2023 Plant Sale

Plants nourish and are credited with positive effects on physical and mental health. Kind of like the DFL — being part of it is good for your health and our environment.

What’s the connection?

DFL Senate District 43, the local organizing unit for Golden Valley, Robbinsdale, New Hope, Crystal and part of Plymouth, is having a plant & flower fundraiser. Profits build our war chest to get Democrats elected in our district and across Minnesota. Your plant flower purchases will help achieve that goal.

How does it work?

• Choose the plants you want from the Gerten’s order form: www.gertensfundraising.com, enter store ID 697

• Order deadline: April 6

• Payment due at the time of your order

• Pick up plants Wednesday, May 10, at a residence in Golden Valley — afternoon through evening

• Don’t see the plants you want? Order a Gertens Plant Card you can use in person

We hope you’ll support our common goal — electing Democrats— by ordering your plants & flowers from our sale. Spread the word — it’s open to everyone! They make great Mother’s Day and teacher gifts.

We’re providing an extra level of service to help you get your plant order — delivery of your order by one of our volunteers for a separate goodwill donation to Senate District 43 via ActBlue. Please email us if you’d like delivery.
