Plant Fundraisers: The JOCO Story
What We Do
JOCO Growers is a bright spot in the overbearing world of fundraisers. We have combined our love of horticulture with the unique marketing opportunity of fundraising to bring a sale to your community that people will actually look forward to.
Our growing space is 100% dedicated to fundraisers. It is all we do! We don’t have a retail storefront, and we don’t wholesale to big box stores. Our products are EXCLUSIVELY yours! As fundraising experts, we guarantee unparalleled guidance, simplicity, and customer service.
We pride ourselves on growing and offering high quality products as an alternative to flooding parents and students with overpriced, low quality “junk”. Offer a unique fundraiser product people actually WANT to buy this year, not to mention, a product they will most likely be buying anyway! We are experts in flower fundraiser ideas and plant sale fundraiser ideas. Contact us to learn more about setting up a JOCO Growers fundraiser.
High Quality
At JOCO Growers, we like to use the phrase “from greenhouse to your house.” By skipping the big box store we are able to offer bigger, healthier, longer living plants that come straight from our greenhouse. Your community will experience the quality, resulting in a sustainable sale that grows year after year. Offer a product people actually WANT to buy this year. Offer a JOCO Growers fundraiser.
Goal Oriented
Large or small, we partner nationwide with a variety of groups to help them meet financial goals. Some examples are PTO/PTA, entire schools, class trips, HS/MS bands and choirs, marching bands, sports teams, clubs, boy/girl scouts, businesses, churches, non-profits, etc.

The team at JOCO Growers guarantees top notch, personal customer service, and meticulous organization.

Although we aim for perfection, you can forward any and all complaints to us so we can quickly take care of the customer.
Who We Are
My name is Zack Joseph. With the loving support of my wife (Tatum), 2 daughters (Pepper and Joey), and 2 sons (Coco and Dawson), I own JOCO Growers. In case you haven’t put it together, JOCO stands for Joseph Company. I take great pride in growing a family business that I can (God willing) leave to my kids. The success of my company mirrors the success of your fundraiser. Consequently, I pour the same care and passion into the success of your fundraiser, as I do into loving my family.
As a kid, high-quality fundraising options seemed limited or non-existent. Growing up watching my parent’s passion for their careers as teachers played a big role in my decision to attend college as an education major. However, a few years into college it became apparent to me that I wanted to impact kids and schools in a different way. Combined with my love of horticulture, that impact became JOCO Growers.

Our Onboarding Process
When you contact JOCO Growers, the gears start turning immediately. The first thing we'll do is schedule an organizational meeting (phone, video, or in person) at a mutually acceptable date and time.
During that meeting, we'll answer any questions you may have and walk you through the logistics of your sale. Afterwards, we'll send you a detailed follow-up email to take back to your board for approval. This email will include a full list of dates (kick off, end of sale, purchase order due, and delivery), along with all other relevant details for making an informed decision on your fundraiser.
The Five-Step Fundraiser
Lead Up
Prior to the start of your sale, we will equip you with student packets, and a state of the art online store.
Kick Off
This is the day that the student packets go home with the kids, and the online store goes live, starting a 2-3 week “pre-sale” period. During this period, you'll have access to a range of pre-made digital marketing artwork, kick off and promo videos, social media posts, and other assets to help you build excitement and get the word out.
End of Sale
This is the date the online store closes and all student packets (containing cash and check sales) are due back to the classrooms.
Purchase Order Due
Your final Purchase order will be due to JOCO a few days after the end of your sale. In that time, our online system will enable you to enter packet information from all of your paper sales.
Delivery Day
On the big day, one of our managers will arrive at your school to deliver the flowers and help your volunteers sort them. With the flowers unloaded, sorted, and counted, our manager will leave you to begin filling orders. Check out the video below for more information!
