How It Works

Simply collect the orders, pay for the cards and The Barn will write your organization a check for 15% of total sales. Cards are perfect gifts for holidays, family, friends and people that love to shop for plants and garden accessories all year long.
To begin, fill out the application and return it via fax. Within 3 business days our fundraising coordinator will contact you with you approval. Then simply download the sales form and print as many copies as you need. At the conclusion of the sales period, the organization contact fills out and returns the master order form. We require 7 business days to process the gift cards, which can then be picked up by the contact and distributed as the organization chooses.
