Overnight Zoo or Garden

Imagine waking up to a front yard full of plastic pink flamingos, or spinning daisies for your next birthday or anniversary. This is a growing business and you can take advantage of it for your group’s next fundraiser. Call businesses in the area to see what they charge. That will give you an idea for your own pricing. You want to find a good source of plastic lawn ornaments. Look at local garden centers during their fall clearance or dollar stores. There may be some online retailers that can help as well. If you have a not-for-profit tax ID, you can go the wholesale route. Have an assortment of animals and flowers to choose from. Advertise in your local area about your overnight zoo and garden business. People love to surprise their families and friends. They will also like helping your group raise money for a good cause. Practice setting up the zoo in the dark. Have flashlights to keep from tripping over things. Learn how to keep the noise to a minimum so you don’t wake up the “targets” or their neighbors.
