Most flowers start as seedlings in CBJ’s greenhouse, where staff care for 16,000+ plants before planting them in May. Sponsorship Levels: Seedling Sponsor ($25–$99), Flower Bed Sponsor ($100–$249), Flower Barrel Sponsor ($250–$499), Hanging Basket Sponsor ($500+; first seven donors receive a hanging basket).
