Camden/Rockport, Maine - Mark your calendars now so you won’t miss the Merryspring Holiday Bazaar on Christmas by the Sea weekend. Always a special event, the Bazaar gives you an opportunity to double your gift-giving, since every purchase of our wonderful holiday decorations and gifts — many crafted by our talented volunteers — goes to benefit Merryspring Nature Center.
Members will have first choice of the goodies at the Ross Center on Thursday, Nov. 29 at the Members Only Sale from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. The general public is invited to shop on Saturday, Dec. 1 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. If you are not now a member, we invite you to become one at the Bazaar. Members receive a 10% discount on all purchases.
As in past years, the Merryspring Holiday Bazaar will feature a variety of natural and nature-based gifts for your holiday purchases. Balsam wreaths (decorated or plain), birch bark wreaths, evergreen swags, bundles of greens, winterberry, holly, miniature boxwood trees, and attractive centerpieces will be available at the sale, but we strongly encourage pre-ordering to be sure you get the decorations and color scheme you want. The Merryspring elves are waiting to create something just for you, so go to the Holiday Bazaar page on the Merryspring website http://www.merryspring.org and click on the Bazaar link for a copy of the catalog.
In addition to holiday greenery, we will have gloves, tools, and books for the gardener or naturalist on your list. We will also have an array of unique gifts that will be available only at Merryspring during the sale. Here are just a few samples to whet your holiday shopping appetite: delicious, homemade spiced pecans; cranberry chutney; jams and jellies; bouquet garni; herbal sachets; paperwhites in decorative gift bags or pre-planted containers; rosemary; supplies to make your own decorations; pet treats; botanical greeting cards; note cards; seashell mirrors and picture frames; ornaments; and much, much more.
