Mocksville Garden Club

Mocksville Garden Club is selling Christmas greenery from Laurel Springs, near Sparta.
Members are thankful that this area survived Hurricane Helene. Several tree farms are open for business.
The club sells greenery each year to raise money for a scholarship fund.
If you say you like to make your own, consider buying the small window or door wreath and then embellish it with cedar, magnolia, etc., from your own yards or walk through the woods or parks and pick up pine cones, etc. for the wreath. Then discover you have just made a beautiful large wreath for your front door or mantel decor.

If you can’t make that date, check with Becky. Christmas greenery will be available for pick up on Saturday, Nov. 30 from 8:30 a.m.-noon at 257 Wandering Lane, Mocksville.
