Collier's Garden Scoop
December 2013
What good is the warmth of summer,
without the cold of winter to give it sweetness?
~John Steinbeck
 'Tis the Season!
The holidays are here-
time to decorate, celebrate & gather together. It's no secret how much beauty & joy plants bring to us during this season. Visit us this month to discover the colors & fragrance of the plants of December, along with lovely holiday décor & gifts.
 
 
December Hours
(through 12/23):
Monday - Saturday 9 to 5
Sundays 1 to 5 
 *We will close Monday, December 23rd 
and reopen in early January.
Please join us for our annual
Holiday Open House
Saturday, December 7th from 9 to 5!
  
The pergola is wrapped in cloth to keep the greenery cool, shaded 
& fresh! We have tables full of fragrant garland, wreaths, swags & greenery bunches.
The beautiful Christmas crosses are back this year as well!
  
  
Wreaths welcome Christmas guests at doorways, 
and honor the season by way of decoration in windows and on walls. Find the perfect size and mix of greenery among our
wide selection, including fresh stems of fraser fir, white pine, juniper, cedar and boxwood. We also offer
ready-made bows in several colors and styles.
  
Poinsettias are in stock, ranging in size from very small to very large, in traditional red & white as well as several shades of pink. Accent this traditional Christmas bloom with showy foliage for added interest. 
Baskets bursting with blooms and foliage are beautiful on tabletops & make great gifts.
We can help you create an arrangement in one of your own containers as well!
Glittery trees & driftwood ornaments are just two of many fun holiday items we have tucked throughout
the greenhouse!
Battery-powered candles made of real wax are convincing but safe. They are pictured here with shimmery mercury
glass trees.
  
Conifers can be strung with lights and used as living Christmas trees.
They can even be kept indoors during the holidays and planted outdoors
later on (in the ground or in large containers).
  
  
  
Poinsettias aren't the only choice for blooms this season- other flowers, in winter whites, include 'Shooting Star' hydrangeas (pictured here), paperwhites,
calla lilies & cyclamen.
Bolder-colored blooms for the holidays include fragrant freesia (pictured here), amaryllis, Christmas cactus, tuberous begonias, cyclamen 
& kalanchoes.
Green-thumbs love gift cards-  
A Collier's gift card can be enjoyed when
it's time to plant next spring!
They are available in any amount and do not expire.
