Enjoy a morning visit to Gamble Garden to shop for fresh greens and holiday arrangements to decorate your home for the holidays. The annual Holiday Greens Sale is one of Gamble Garden’s greatest traditions, so come and join us, rain or shine!
GREENS SALE
We will be offering fresh cut greens to deck your halls, potted paperwhites, wreaths, swags and more. In addition, we will be selling sweet peas, succulent containers, and potting benches.
CUSTOM HOLIDAY CENTERPIECES & ARRANGEMENTS
Gamble’s expert flowers arrangers will be in the Tea House designing fresh centerpieces filled with greens. Arrangements start at $30.
Arrangements are custom made in either a container you provide or one you purchase the day of the sale.
Drop off your container in the Main House between Monday and Friday the week of Greens Sale between 9:00am-11:00am. Include your name, email and phone number.
Your arrangement will be ready for purchase and pick up on Saturday between 9am and 12pm at the Tea House.
SEEKING GREENERY DONATIONS
Do you have live greenery that you can prune and donate to the Greens Sale? Homeowners, professional gardeners and arborists, and the City of Palo Alto donate fresh cut, seasonal branches. If you have greenery to donate, please drop off branches behind our Horticulturist office beginning Monday, December 3 or email [email protected] to arrange for pickup.
