Kings Seeds

Imagine a fundraiser that does more than raise money-it teaches, inspires, and contributes to a more sustainable New Zealand. That's exactly what Kings Seeds' Seeds of Support programme offers. When you sell seeds, you're not just fundraising. You're empowering your supporters to grow their own food, beautify their gardens, and contribute to food resilience, all while supporting your cause.

This is fundraising with purpose. Every seed packet sold represents potential-potential for fresh vegetables, beautiful flowers, aromatic herbs, and a deeper connection to the earth. It's a fundraiser that appeals to gardeners, environmentalists, families wanting to teach children about growing food, and anyone who appreciates the satisfaction of nurturing something from seed to harvest.

Why Seeds Create Meaningful Fundraising

• Educational Value: Selling seeds teaches supporters about sustainability, food resilience, and self-sufficiency. This educational aspect makes it perfect for schools and community groups.
• Long-Term Impact: Unlike consumable products, seeds create lasting value. Supporters plant them, nurture them, and enjoy the results for months or years. That longevity creates positive association with your organisation.
• Broad Appeal: From vegetables to flowers, herbs to native plants, there's something for every gardener-beginners and experts alike. This variety maximises your potential supporter base.
• Environmental Benefits: Promoting gardening contributes to food resilience, reduces food miles, and encourages sustainable practices. Supporters feel good knowing their purchase supports both your cause and environmental wellbeing.
• Trusted Brand: Kings Seeds is a respected New Zealand brand known for quality seeds and excellent germination rates. That trust translates into confident purchases.

2. Define Your Mission

What will these funds achieve? Be specific and share your goal clearly. Whether it's school garden projects, sports equipment, or community initiatives, supporters are more generous when they understand the impact and see the connection to growing and sustainability.

3. Curate Your Selection

Choose from Kings Seeds' extensive range: vegetables, herbs, flowers, and more. Consider your community's interests-are they keen vegetable gardeners, flower enthusiasts, or herb lovers? Offer variety to appeal to different preferences.

4. Launch with Purpose

Promote through newsletters, social media, and community channels. Highlight the educational benefits, environmental impact, and food resilience aspects. Emphasise how purchasing seeds supports both your cause and a more sustainable New Zealand.

5. Make Ordering Simple

Set up clear systems for collecting orders and payments. Accept cash, bank transfers, and cheques. Keep accurate records of all sales to ensure smooth ordering and distribution.

6. Build Excitement

Share progress updates and gardening tips. "We're halfway to our goal!" creates momentum. Consider sharing seasonal planting advice or success stories from previous seed fundraisers to maintain engagement.

7. Distribute with Care

When seeds arrive, organise a collection day or arrange deliveries. Have volunteers ready to help. Consider including basic planting instructions or links to gardening resources to add value for supporters.

Pro Tips for Maximum Impact

• Create Themed Collections: Offer "Vegetable Garden Starter Pack" or "Herb Garden Collection" bundles. Themed collections increase average order size and make decision-making easier.
• Share Growing Tips: Provide basic planting guides or links to resources. Adding educational value increases perceived value and encourages purchases.
• Leverage Seasonal Timing: Time your fundraiser with planting seasons (spring and autumn are ideal). Seasonal relevance increases urgency and sales.
• Highlight Success Stories: Share photos or stories from supporters who've grown successful gardens from previous seed purchases. Success stories create social proof and drive sales.
• Offer Variety: Ensure you have options for different skill levels-easy-to-grow varieties for beginners and more challenging options for experienced gardeners.
• Create Community Connection: Consider organising a community planting day or garden tour. Community events create excitement and drive seed sales.

Why Seed Fundraisers Flourish

Seed fundraisers succeed because they offer multiple layers of value. Supporters aren't just donating-they're investing in their gardens, learning new skills, contributing to sustainability, and supporting your cause. That multi-faceted value proposition creates strong emotional connection and makes selling easier.

The educational and environmental aspects also appeal to supporters who might not participate in traditional fundraisers, expanding your potential supporter base. It's fundraising that feels meaningful, purposeful, and rewarding for everyone involved.
