FRIENDS OF THE UCSC FARM AND GARDEN HOST ANNUAL HOLIDAY TEA AND GIFT SALE AT ID BUILDING ON DECEMBER 4

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SANTA CRUZ, CA--The Friends of the UCSC Farm and Garden will host their annual holiday tea and gift sale on Sunday, December 4, from 1 to 4 p.m. at the ID Building on the Pacific Garden Mall in downtown Santa Cruz.

The event will feature an array of Farm and Garden merchandise, as well as complimentary refreshments, including pie, cookies, tea, and coffee. Dried wreaths, flavored vinegars, canvas tote bags, T-shirts, coffee mugs, sweatshirts, pencils, and greeting cards are among the merchandise that will be available for purchase.

In addition to conventional dried-flower wreaths, the selection this year will include herbal wreaths, wreaths of fresh greens, and unusual wreaths featuring grasses, seed pods, and other wild materials.

Sales benefit the Farm and Garden at the University of California, Santa Cruz, which is the home of the Center for Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems. The holiday party is one of the three biggest fund-raising events sponsored by the group each year, says Friends president Jody Stix Garsia. Proceeds help support the program's Apprenticeship in Ecological Horticulture, as well as other educational and outreach activities.
