Poinsettia

A beautiful holiday classic, you can’t go wrong with a festive poinsettia to bring your loved ones some joy and cheer. To make things easy, you can pair your gift with one of our self-watering containers (pictured above). Click here for additional poinsettia care tips.

 

Houseplants

Of course, poinsettias aren’t your only houseplant choice for holiday gift-giving. With the weather turning cloudy and gray, there’s nothing better than receiving a fresh, colorful plant that can be enjoyed well past the holidays. For some inspiration, check out our festive houseplant round-up.

 

Gardening Tools

Whether the gardener in your life is a beginner or expert, you can’t go wrong with a collection of useful tools. Consider a trowel combined with a kneeling pad, some gloves, a watering can, and seeds to give your gardener everything they’ll need in the spring.

 

Sloggers

Do you know someone who gardens no matter the conditions? For the messy gardener in your life, slogger footwear is just the thing to tackle those dirty projects where a waterproof finish is a must.

 

Scented Soaps

As we love to tell everyone, gardening is messy! So what better way to clean up after those messy jobs than with some of our luxurious fragrant scented soaps and hand creams. These make great stocking stuffers!

 

Gift Cards

Still not sure what to get? For the gardener that seemingly has everything, you can’t go wrong with a Van Wilgen’s gift card. Pick one up in the store, over the phone, or online.

The holiday season is upon us! We’re excited to kick off our favorite holiday traditions from baking cookies to decorating for the season. For many of us, nothing says the holidays more than the fragrant smell of a fresh-cut tree. Whether you’re a fan of pre-cut trees or you prefer to cut your own, we’re here to help!
You’ll find pre-cut trees within the black gates just off of the parking lot for easy access, and getting to our tree field is just a quick walk past our perennial department. From there, you can pick up one of our handy saws and start the hunt! With over 16 acres of trees to choose from, including a selection of Fraser Fir, Douglas Fir, Blue Spruce, and Turkish Fir, you’re sure to find the perfect tree.
As you’re searching, you’ll find our team circling the fields, always ready to help. Once you’ve chosen your tree, we’ll tag it and help you cut it down if you need a hand. We’ll transport your tree to our pickup area in the parking lot (no need to lug it around yourself). Simply pull up in one of the pickup lines and we’ll bale and tie your tree to your vehicle. Please note, in order to keep everyone safe, we kindly ask that you stay masked and remain in your vehicle unless otherwise instructed.
Whether you choose to cut your own or go with a pre-cut option, we’re certain the fresh smell of your tree will leave everyone with some good old-fashioned holiday spirit.
