The Garden Club of Jacksonville’s annual Flea Market was the ultimate place to reuse and recycle. The big sale kept valuable items out of the landfill while supporting the Garden Club and its related circles. The Flea Market on February 25 and the Preview Party on February 24 attracted more than 2,000 attendees.
Guests scored fantastic finds at this gigantic yard sale featuring enticing items from homes across Jacksonville. The Garden Club, its Garden Circles, and independent vendors sold housewares, artwork, furniture, books, knick-knacks, and more. The Garden Club transformed its Club Room into a boutique of women’s, men’s, and children’s fashions straight from the closets of its members, including cocktail dresses, suits, school clothes, jewelry, and accessories.
Village Bread Cafe and Repicci’s Real Italian ice provided delicious food truck dining to shoppers.
After a weekend of sales, the Garden Club donated a giant truck full of items to the Salvation Army, and a van loaded with clothing for the Downtown Ecumenical Services Council.
