Greenery Fundraiser
Sara Drake
Livestock Extension Agent
Davidson County Cooperative Extension will be taking
orders for greenery as a fundraiser to support youth livestock activities. Items available include various size wreaths,
garland, and kissing balls. Wreaths are freshly made by a small family owned and operated Christmas Tree Farm in Alleghany
County. A fresh wreath that is cared for properly will be a joy to its owners for a month or more. It is not only
beautiful, but its fragrance is amazing!
The standard
door size wreaths are available in Fraser Fir, Boxwood, or a Triple Mix (Fraser Fir, Boxwood, and White Pine). Also
available are large Fraser Fir wreaths, large Boxwood wreaths, a square wreath, and undecorated Kissing Balls in Fraser Fir
or Boxwood. If you are interested in garland, White Pine garland can be purchased in lengths of 25 or 50 feet.
The wreaths are handmade and are fresh when you
pick them up. Pre-ordered wreaths will be available for pick-up on Friday, November 30 at the Davidson County Cooperative
Extension Office (301 E. Center Street, Lexington) from 8:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. For questions or to order, contact
the Davidson County Cooperative Extension Office at 336-242-2082. The cost of the standard door size Fraser Fir wreath
is $20, and the cost of the Boxwood wreath is $25. Call for pricing on the specialty items. All orders, along
with payment must be received by Thursday, November 15. You can order online at http://go.ncsu.edu/wreathsale, but payment
must be mailed (checks payable to: Davidson County Livestock) to 301 E. Center St., Lexington, NC 27292.
Please help support Davidson County Cooperative Extension youth
who participate in youth livestock events by purchasing a beautiful wreath or greenery.
