Holiday in the Gardens at Mercer Next Week
This is a little off topic. However, the post about Mercer Botanic Gardens generated so much interest that I thought I would follow it up with some good news for all those people still struggling to rebuild their homes after Harvey. Here’s an event at Mercer that the whole family can enjoy. It will help you take your mind off flooding for a day.
Holiday in the Gardens and Winter Plant Sale at Mercer
Celebrate the holiday season with music, food, crafts, shopping, and more during Holiday in the Gardens Saturday, Dec. 8 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Mercer Botanic Gardens.
This family-oriented event offers a holiday market, winter plant sale, and a Children’s Corner. Attractions include face painting, a visit from Santa, and holiday-themed crafts. Entrance is free, and children’s activities are available while supplies last. Food, drinks, and holiday gifts are available for purchase.
Volunteers Needed
Volunteers are needed for Holiday in the Gardens! Anyone who would like to volunteer or has questions can contact Mercer’s Volunteer Coordinator Jamie Hartwell at jhartwell@hcp4.net. New volunteers must complete a volunteer application, available at www.hcp4.net/mercer/volunteering.
