Holiday

Before you deck out your Christmas tree with ornaments, picks, and ribbon, you need to start with a great shape. The shape of a lifelike tree not only helps with holding your dazzling trinkets but will also give your tree a more realistic look.

Gift-giving can be one of the most stressful parts of the holiday season, especially if you are the person that strives for that surprised face of your family and friends. We always want to give the best to those we love, and for our gardener loved ones, those gifts can be even more specific and special.  We have selected our top categories to give you the best garden-gifting ideas.  

Houseplants can be both the gateway to gardening as well as a way to celebrate plants, even when the weather has gone cold for the season. Decorating with houseplants can last all year-round and some houseplants are even specific to the season of holiday cheer that we are in right now!  

Nothing says “seasons greetings” like brightly colored blooms throughout your home. Holiday bulbs are the perfect way to both easily decorate as well as stun your guests with blazing colors. Blooming bulbs are a bit unassuming at first, but they will reward you with weeks of intrigue and beauty throughout the holiday season. During this time of year, our all-time favorites here at the garden center tend to be amaryllis and paperwhite bulbs.

There are just so many ways to decorate for the holidays and we don’t like to limit ourselves to just one or two looks, especially when there are so many beautiful choices to pick from! At our Annual McDonald Garden Center Christmas Shoppe, we like to provide inspirational new ideas as well as collaborations that could go with your already established holiday decor.
