This year, the Jacksonville Garden Club’s 29th-Annual Spring Sale is on Friday, May 9th and Saturday, May 10th, from 10:00am to 2:00pm near the Post Office on Oregon Street in downtown Jacksonville.
Get set for Mother’s Day with beautiful bouquets created from fresh-cut local flowers, or a unique potted plant. Home-baked goodies—cookies, brownies, pies, scones, and cakes—will also be featured, an easy way to have some delicious treats for the weekend.
Lovely handmade cards, made by Club members, will also be for sale. Over the past year, some members have been busy creating beautiful handmade papers, using dried flowers and plants to make one-of-a-kind designs that make great gifts. Come and see the results of their efforts!
Money raised from Garden Club activities provides scholarships at the Oregon Stewardship and at Rogue Community College. A recent scholarship winner from Rogue Community College Foundation says, “This scholarship helped me pay for my books and furthered my educational goals.” Jacksonville Garden Club funds and volunteer energies also support local beautification projects at the Peter Britt Garden, Doc Griffin Park, and the Jacksonville Post Office.
