Starting a new collection

Im trying to start up a new collection. Ive lost all my plants over the past few yrs.
Im planning on setting up an educational display in the santa barbara and ventura county fair starting next yr. So Im looking for donations of plants for the display. I will have a list of everyone who donated and what was donated in the display. So im looking for whatever i can find. Ill be buying some plants through out the year also to suppliment whatever I dont have by then. Thx for reading
and thx for your time

PS I will post pics of the display

well lol i had about 35 different varities at one point all in good shape. But its abit different this time since the whole point of having them this time is for an educational display. Not that i wouldnt have minded starting again but it will be nice for people to find out more about the bug eaters we all love so much lol.
And the last time the fair had any entered was 4 or 5 yrs ago. So i think this will be a good thing.

I talked to the people in charge in the floriculture department last night every one was really happy when they heard I already got plants coming in.
And on a side note my Sumi landscape painting got 3rd place in the fair. Lol And I didnt even want to enter it.
