2024 Greens Sale

The Sandy Spring Museum Garden Club’s major fundraiser each year is our popular December Greens Sale of holiday wreaths and arrangements made exclusively by our members. The money raised is used to finance various projects such as maintaining flower beds on the museum grounds, and various other programs, grounds improvements/maintenance and projects.

These holiday decorations are unique, one-of-a- kind creations. Our members volunteer to gather a variety of fresh greens from gardens of local homes. They prepare those greens to create a beautiful collection of 6 types of holiday wreaths, arrangements and novelties that are all originally designed and assembled by hand and then decorated for the holidays. Consider joining the club this holiday season to be a part of the festivities.
