Beautify Your Home with Plants, Support PTO
Support our ongoing fundraiser in partnership with North Shore Plant Club. The North Shore Plant Club’s mission is to make gardening more accessible to the community. You can purchase a wide range of plants at almost wholesale prices. Ivy Hall PTO will receive a portion of your purchase. 
Joining the club is free and gives you access to great prices and a huge selection of plants that arrive fresh from the growers, while allowing you the convenience of shopping from home. When you join North Shore Plant Club and purchase a plant using our special link, 5 percent of the proceeds will go to Ivy Hall School PTO.
You, friends, family and neighbors will be able to order 15 different times between April and October and support the fundraiser. There are Plant Club pick-up locations in Buffalo Grove (near the Prairie View Metra Station), Barrington, Glenview, Deerfield, Lake Forest, Libertyville, Naperville, Skokie/Evanston, Wilmette and Winnetka.
You’ll be notified by email when each sale begins: You can also view upcoming sale dates on the North Shore Plant Club website.
