This year the Jacksonville Garden Club’s annual Spring Sale is on Saturday, May 7, 2016 from 10:00am-3:00pm in the alcove next to the Post Office on Oregon Street.
Get set for Mother’s Day with beautiful bouquets and arrangements created from fresh-cut local flowers, or a unique plant. Home-baked goodies—cookies, brownies, scones, cakes, and candies—will also be featured, an easy way to have some delicious treats for the weekend.
Jacksonville Garden Club funds and its members’ volunteer energies also support local beautification projects at the Peter Britt Gardens and the Jacksonville Post Office. Over the past few years, Club funds have been particularly instrumental in supporting the plantings for the restoration of the Peter Britt Gardens. Susan Casaleggio, a Club representative on the Britt Garden committee says, “Through a bequest from the estates of Robert and Ruth Root and other Club funds, we were able to purchase all of the perennials, shrubs and trees that were planted between 2013 and 2015. This has been a wonderful partnership for the City of Jacksonville, the Boosters Club, and the Garden Club to bring this important piece of our history back to life in our town.”
Money raised from Garden Club activities also provides scholarships at the Oregon Stewardship and Rogue Community College. Mark your calendar: Saturday, May 7, 2016 from 10am-3pm—see you at the sale!
