Warm temperatures have made it pleasant for us as we put away our nursery plants and perennials for the winter! Christmas tree sales have begun - we have Connecticut-grown living and cut trees. We also have larger size cut Fraser firs for those of you who want a stunning tall tree! Our wreaths are double-sided Balsam and mixed green wreaths. The balsam wreaths are made in Ct and our mixed wreaths are made right here in Woodstock! You will also find balsam roping and cemetery arrangements with mixed greens and red berries. Have a wonderful holiday season - see you at the nursery!
