Middleburg Garden Club Celebrates Christmas Past

· From pages 6 of the print edition

Travel with the Middleburg Garden Club into a world of our fondest Christmas memories with "An Old Fashioned Christmas," the theme for the holiday standard flower show, greens sale and bazaar on Friday December 6th from 2-5 p.m. and Saturday, December 7th from 10-2 p.m. at Emmanuel Episcopal Church parish hall, 105 E Washington Street in the heart of the charming and historic village of Middleburg.

This extremely popular event takes place in a picture perfect setting located approximately one hour west of Washington, D.C. is part of the annual Christmas in Middleburg celebration. In addition to the wreaths and other greens the bazaar will offer seasonal crafts and gourmet items made by club members.

In keeping with the traditional holiday theme the flower show will feature two interclub classes: one will be a vignette of a doorway decorated for Christmas and the other a holiday buffet table. There are also individual design and horticulture classes open to entries from the public.

This is always a much anticipated event because of the lovely and striking presentations. Last year the show won both Virginia and national awards for the best holiday flower show.

Admission to the show is free. Proceeds from the sale help support the Middleburg Garden Club's charitable beautification and community projects.
