Build Your Own Bouquet Fundraiser

Liven up your house with a philanthropic floral arrangement! Travel Sparq is hosting a Build Your Own Bouquet Fundraiser to help fund our Costa Rica: Culture and Conservation Program (CRCC), which focuses on transforming the lives of Iowa high school students!

On Saturday, August 2nd, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., build the bouquet of your dreams with a diverse mix of flowers at Back Alley House Plants (501 Main St.). All bouquets are free-will donations, and we accept cards or cash. We will have some vases available if you'd like one to take home (part of the free-will donation), along with some small pressed flowers.

All proceeds from the fundraiser will support our CRCC program, which offers learning opportunities through international travel to Central Iowa high schoolers who wouldn't otherwise have this type of experience. And while we're talking about it, applications for our 2026 CRCC trip are open until July 31st! Don't miss this chance; apply now! The program is free for families that meet our eligibility guidelines!

We are incredibly grateful and excited to work with Back Alley House Plants on this fundraiser. You might want to pick up a new houseplant or two while you're at the shop, too!
