Take pictures from the catalogs that are blown up to a bigger size to show what they are buying because most people have no Idea about the type of tomato! Off brands or heirlooms like green tomatoes sell great.

Even a mix of 4 different kind in one pack also sales! Start some small boxes of mixed tomatoes that are starters like 6 inches high maybe 3 dozen in a old box and sell them for $10! Sunflowers also sell great!
I guess it depends where you are in the country. Here, Home Depot sells a single plant in 6" pot for $3.59. So our 4" pots that had a single plant were $3.we didn't have any group pots.
Our club made around $1200.00 that weekend.
It funded several school projects.
