Personal and Corporate Orders in Poinsettia and Wreath Fundraiser Support Education and Greening Programs in Newark

Add some seasonal color to your home or office while contributing to a greener and healthier Newark.

Thinking about decorating your home or business for the holidays? Interested in making a contribution to support a greener and healthier Newark? There’s an easy way to do both. Place your order for beautiful, locally grown poinsettias and festive wreaths in Greater Newark Conservancy’s annual fundraiser. All proceeds directly benefit Newark’s students and residents through the Conservancy’s Education and Community Greening Programs.

Poinsettias are available in traditional red, white, pink and a uniquely marbled form in a wide range of sizes. Fresh green wreaths come with a bright red bow. Plant care sheets come with every order. Orders under $100 may be picked up at the Conservancy’s office at 32 Prince Street in Newark. An additional fee will be included for deliveries to locations outside of Newark.

“By participating in our Annual Poinsettia and Wreath Fundraiser, not only will you be supporting our educational programs for Newark’s youth and community greening projects citywide, you will also be supporting a family-run nursery that works hard year-round to produce these beautiful, iconic poinsettias, perfect for home and corporate orders,” concluded Robin Dougherty, the Conservancy’s Executive Director.
