After a long, chilly winter, who isn’t yearning for spring? With flowering trees and wildflowers in the woods, we are all welcoming the warmer weather and beauty of this season in the Rogue Valley. Our thoughts turn to plantings for gardens and celebrating spring with bouquets and goodies. In that spirit, the Jacksonville Garden Club’s annual Spring Sale will be held in downtown Jacksonville on Saturday, May 13, from 10am-3:00pm in the alcove next to the Post Office.
For the sale, creative club members use fresh spring flowers to make beautiful arrangements in a range of prices—for a sweet Mother’s Day surprise or a gift to yourself or a friend. Potted plants, spring starts, lovely cards, and crafts are also available for purchase. And come to take home some of the yummy homemade baked goods and treats made by Club members. There is something for everyone at the Spring Sale!
Funds raised from Garden Club events go to support local student scholarships at the Oregon Stewardship and Rogue Community College. In addition, the Club’s funds and its volunteers assist local beautification projects at the Peter Britt Garden, Scheffel-Thurston Park, the Jacksonville Community Center and Doc Griffin Park. Visit the Spring Sale on May 13th and bring home some happiness while contributing to a good cause!
