Down to Earth nursery in Pomona goes all-out for the holidays every year. Here’s a link to my colleague Mary Shustack’s Just Browsing blog with all the details.
The last time I drove by they were having a huge sale on all their trees and shrubs.
And here’s info from the November newsletter on the annual Open House at neighboring Matterhorn Nursery, also in Pomona:
“The Holiday Season at Matterhorn officially begins with our Holiday Open House on December 6. Join us for a delightful day of wine, cheese, and holiday cheer! Our picturesque village is transformed into a winter wonderland with gifts for everyone on your holiday list. Matterhorn Grown Poinsettias are ready, and we invite you to select your favorites directly from the greenhouses. Savor the season at Matterhorn. Please visit our website for more information.”

Bill Cary grew up in Louisville, Ky. His gardening was limited to growing parsley and impatiens on the windowsill of Manhattan walkups until the mid-1990s when he bought a rundown old chicken farm on 8 acres in the Hudson Valley. Now he spends his weekends chasing deer, hacking away at invasive shrubs and vines and wondering why he doesn`t have more meadow and less lawn.
