Hundreds of shoppers came to Gifts & Greens Galore last Saturday to support the Arboretum! Despite a major meltdown of our shop computer, we had our best holiday sale ever! Thanks so much to everyone who stopped by and contributed to the success. A special thanks to all the marvelous volunteers who made the event possible!
Though we sold all 50 of our hand-crafted wreaths and most of the loose greens at the holiday sale, we still have some wonderful, nature-inspired merchandise in the
Arboretum Shop! Choose from woodland-creature tree ornaments to botanical jewelry. We've discounted our volunteer-made bird seed balls to $2 each.
