Spring Flowering Bulbs fundraiser

A Ranunculus near the hall (my favourite)

As we get into Autumn, it is time to think about planting bulbs which will grow in the Spring and give beautiful flowers.

You can support the Multicultural Women's Sewing Group by buying bulbs or selling them to friends. Ask Mich, Laura or Angela for a printed order form, or click here to look at the bulb catalogue online.

Tesselaar bulbs are good quality, come with planting instructions and don't need much care or skill. Once they finish flowering in spring, they will die down and most will multiply and flower again in following years (In Melbourne, tulip bulbs will need to be dug up and put in the fridge before re-planting).

How do I order bulbs? Find someone with a printed catalogue, choose the bulbs you want and tell them your order.
                        OR
Look at the online catalogue, choose the bulbs you would like.Text or email Ange or Jennifer telling us your name and how many of each pack you would like. Each one has a letter from A to Z.

How do I pay? You can pay us when we give you the bulbs, or before. You can also pay by EFT directly to MWSG: BSB 633 000  ACCOUNT: 155 00 3312 So we can track payments, please include a reference in the EFT transaction. Use BULBS followed by your surname eg BULBS SMITH

When do I need to order by? Email or text your order to Jennifer or Angela by 31^st March.

Jennifer           0416 049 647 or jypmok@gmail.com

Angela             0402 765 928 or ange-stock-arts@optusnet.com.au

When do the bulbs arrive?

We will get your bulb packages back by about mid-April - perfect for an autumn planting! You can pick them up at Sewing Group or we will contact you about how to get them to you. (We won't be able to post them).

The Multicultural Women’s Sewing Group Inc. REALLY appreciates your help.
