For two days each year, the Jacksonville Garden Club’s Holiday Greens Sale brings a burst of energy to the alcove next to the Post Office in downtown Jacksonville. An array of beautiful table arrangements with candles, interesting baskets decorated with bows and cones, and distinctive door swags are displayed on tables for customers to select after carefully perusing their options. This year a large basket filled with a variety of small gifts will be raffled off, and sweet treats will also be available for purchase.
Judie Lyon, Club President says, “Our arrangements are lovely, reasonably priced and will last for weeks if kept watered, making them a wonderful addition to homes and businesses during the holiday season. And the sale proceeds go for a good cause, funding local scholarships for students and local beautification projects such as the garden outside the Post Office and the Britt Garden.”
This year the sale will be held on Friday, December 2, 2016 from 10:00am to 3:00pm and Saturday, December 3, 2016 from 9:00am to 3:00pm. On Saturday the sale will be open during Jacksonville’s Christmas parade. Enjoy the Victorian holiday spirit in Jacksonville, support a good cause and brighten your holidays with the sight and scent of lovely natural greens!
