Connecticut Horticultural Society (CHS) is now registered with AmazonSmile. As a result, you can request that a fraction of your order be donated to CHS!
What you pay for your order is NOT affected by this choice. But Amazon will direct .5% (that’s one-half of one percent) of your purchase to CHS.
To begin, go to smile.amazon.com to indicate you want a fraction of your total order donated to CHS. Place all future orders on smile.amazon.com to continue your support.
