Last year we launched the Bring Your Own Box Raffle, and it was so successful we’re expanding it this year!

While we get strawberry boxes donated, Friends School Plant Sale also ­purchases a large number of cardboard trays for our customers. Every container that you bring is one less we need to buy or gather from a grocery store. When you bring a ­container, you save our fundraiser money and help reduce waste. 

Enter the raffle to win prizes! One free ticket for each container: 

Any container that you bring to carry your plants home earns you one ticket. Eligible ­containers include: 

  • cardboard boxes
  • wagons or homemade carts
  • reusable plastic crates
  • and more... if you bring it and it can carry plants, we’ll reward it with a ticket.

What are the prizes?

At the end of the sale, we’ll draw raffle tickets and five lucky winners will each get a pair of #1 wristbands for the 2026 sale. These will get you and a friend into the very first entrance group on a day of your choice—no waiting in line! 

How to do the raffle

  • Get your tickets at the Zero Waste tent in the Garden Fair.
  • Drop your tickets into a raffle box at the Zero Waste tent, near the checkout line entrance, or at the cashiers.
