Green Spring Gardens is having a tremendous sale on a wide array of items from both its gift shops.

Now through Sunday, March 7, 2010, enjoy unusual mid-winter savings on pewter birdfeeders, wind-chimes, t-shirts, puzzles and note cards by local artists. The gift shop rarely offers discounted prices.

Many items are in limited quantities such as Carruth sculptures, plaques, travel mugs, candles, tea, dishes, and jewelry by local artists. The Great Snowmageddon Sale is located in the Horticulture Center and includes items from the Historic House.

Visit the shop in the main garden building at Green Spring Gardens, 4603 Green Spring Road in Alexandria.

Shop hours are 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Saturday; noon to 4:30 p.m., on Sunday. Members of the Friends of Green Spring Gardens receive additional discounts.
