The French Broad River Garden Club’s Annual Holiday Greens Market has been a tradition in Western North Carolina for nearly 100 years. This one-of-a-kind event features unique, handmade goods that are hand-crafted by regional artists — perfect for holiday gift-giving and home decorating. All of the greenery sold at the market has been harvested using accepted conservation principles.
This year, we are excited to host 35 vendors offering a wide variety of items including pottery, paintings and prints, jewelry, turned wood, soaps and botanical oils, blacksmith artistry, hand-crafted nutcrackers, greenery, flowers and bulbs, wreaths, garland, table centerpieces, ornaments, planters, letterpress greeting cards, cutting boards, nuts and jellies, honey, vinegars and dressings, homemade baked goods, and chocolate!
Influenced by the Club’s mission of environmental and horticultural education and practices, the Greens Market fulfills its mission by promoting conservation and sustainable use of natural resources in Western North Carolina. Proceeds from the Holiday Greens Market support local scholarships in horticultural and environmental studies. Please join us on Dec 2nd and 3rd in supporting a great cause!
