When Hurricane Helene roared through our region, Bullington Gardens bore the brunt of its fury. Towering trees toppled, trails disappeared under debris, and cherished spaces faced unexpected destruction. But from this chaos, Bullington Gardens found inspiration, transforming challenges into opportunities for beauty and connection.

This holiday season, we’re proud to unveil handcrafted items like wooden reindeer, owls, and tree cookie magnets—all created from salvaged storm debris. These will be available at our Annual Holiday Sale on December 6th and 7th and not only capture the resilience of our garden but also reflect the community effort that has fueled our recovery.

Churches, volunteer groups, and generous neighbors stepped forward to clear trails, remove unsafe trees, and begin repairs to damaged paths. Their dedication has breathed life back into Bullington Gardens, reminding us of all of the power of collective action.

While there’s still much to do, the progress we’ve made together is inspiring. By shopping with us, you’re not just purchasing a beautiful holiday treasure—you’re investing in the future of Bullington Gardens and the natural spaces that bring us together.

This year, as we gather to celebrate the season, let us also celebrate the strength and resilience of our community. Together, we’re turning challenges into beauty.
