Matthaei Botanical Gardens Ann Arbor Farm & Garden Greens Market™
The Ann Arbor Branch of Woman’s Farm & Garden Association hosted the 64th Greens Market at Matthaei Botanical Gardens. This event was held along with our annual Holiday Extravaganza and was a huge success!
We are the oldest philanthropic holiday bizaar in the greater Detroit area. Proceeds from the Greens Market will provide scholarships and grants for local horticultural and environmental education programs. Since 1946, the AAFG has awarded more than $450,000 to sustain educational and community projects dedicated to horticulture and the environment. This year we earned approximately $7300 for contribution to scholarships and grants.
An all volunteer effort, the Greens Market always offers a festive afternoon amid the sights and scents of the winter season. Shoppers can browse a remarkable assortment of fresh-cut, top quality Oregon greens and wreaths, decorative seasonal arrangements and spring bulbs for forcing. The Greens Market also offers several specialty "shops" with something for everyone.
Proceeds benefit local and state scholarships and fellowships: including University Of Michigan School Of Natural Resources and Matthaei Botanical Gardens; 4H Leadership Program, and Agrarian Adventure. The recipients for this year will be announced soon.
