The Red Mountain Garden Club will host its annual Greenery Sale on Wednesday, Dec. 4, at Birmingham Botanical Gardens.

The club first began the popular sale 31 years ago, and today it continues to offer garlands, badges and fresh greenery such as holly and hemlock to benefit the Birmingham Botanical Gardens and Birmingham Museum of Art.

Members construct the handmade kissing balls, mailbox toppers, table arrangements and more. Bows and ribbon to complete your home’s decorations are also available for sale. 

Garden club members as well as Pratt Brown of Pratt Brown Landscapes and Bob Newton of Landscape Services donate much of the greenery.

To simplify the hectic holiday season, Red Mountain Garden Club offers a pre-sale option on its website. A wide selection of boxwood, fir, monkey puzzle and cedar wreaths of varying sizes, both double and single sided, is available. Garland, Fraser fir and white pine crosses can also be pre-ordered. Pre-ordered items will be ready to take home the day of the sale. 

This year’s greenery sale chairmen are Alpha Goings and Cary Wahlheim.
