This is one of my favorite places to go, especially at the holidays. If you like wandering in to a place with beautiful gifts, ornaments, plants, and flowers, you will really enjoy this place. You can go online and take a look at their website and it’ll give you a preview of what they have.
For anyone who wants to wander and take your time, just be careful and bring a small purse or bag. It’s very easy to hit things and knock things over because they have so much. What makes it unique to something like an Armstrong Gardens or a nursery is that they put the high-end touch on it. You have several rooms of interesting gifts and decor, then rows of beautiful plants and water fountains.
They have real Christmas trees you can buy, but their artificial trees are top notch as well.
They have small gifts that are affordable, to really expensive gifts and patio furniture. I bought hanging flower arrangements there that have lasted years to Christmas ornaments that I still use. It’s great to go during Halloween when they have several rooms set up with all sorts of great decor.
It’s best to go random times during the week when it’s not busy. It has very little parking and is popular so going off hours is your best bet to enjoy versus going on a weekend. Other options are to park across the street behind the gas station and walk over if you do go on the weekend. Just be prepared to be moving around people as it does get packed.
The farmhouse restaurant that’s attached to the back is also a great place to go. The best is when you go at Christmas and you’re sitting in open air seating and you can smell the fresh Christmas trees as you eat dinner.
This is a place I go to whenever I want to...
Read moreWe finally made it! My kids and I are fans of Nightmare Before Christmas and had been wanting to visit the Nightmare Before Christmas boutique. We visited two weekends ago and it was closed already :( I know bummer right?! We planned accordingly this time and arrived early. We didn't struggle with parking at all which, not going to lie was a but worried lol. So as soon as we walked in one of the staff members greeted and welcomed us. They have so many pumpkins throughout the garden to chose from. Different sizes, shapes and colors of pumpkins. The boutique itself had many items to decor at home. Throughout the boutique there characters from the movie. We saw Jack, Sally, the mayor, Zero, Shock, Lock, Barrel, Boogie. And there was also a snake that went around two rooms on the ceiling. We enjoyed walking around the boutique as well as the garden. Many different flowers, fountains, fruit trees, garden decor and planter accessories I would want to say. They also have a monarch butterfly tree where if you make a donation you get to hang a butterfly on it. We enjoyed the fun experience and can't wait for the Christmas boutique which by the way it's currently under construction lol. I definitely recommend you to visit even to just enjoy the smell of...
