Choose your Christmas tree.
Crocker’s posted holiday program begins with Christmas-tree arrivals and handmade wreath-making in the week before Thanksgiving. The nursery’s Garden Shop and covered greenhouse areas make it possible to combine choosing a tree with browsing holiday decorations.
The holiday open house is listed for December 5–6, with baked goods and hot apple cider offered while you shop. The nursery also runs three decorating classes; instruction is free, while you pay for the materials used. Register ahead in person, by phone or at info@crockernurseries.net.
The farm visit.
Make a container, boxwood tree or centerpiece
The November 28 outdoor-container class starts at 10am and typically uses $35–$50 of supplies, depending on the container and decorations. Materials are provided, or bring your own roughly 12-inch container. The December 5 boxwood-tree class starts at 10am with a container, oasis, boxwood and instruction; typical supplies cost $15–$25.
The December 12 centerpiece class also starts at 10am, with a container, oasis, cut greens, decorations and instruction; typical supply cost is $15–$20. These are separate booked activities, and the material prices are examples rather than fixed admission fees.
| Class | Date / time | Material cost |
|---|---|---|
| Outdoor holiday container | November 28, 10am | Typically $35–$50; varies with container and decorations |
| Boxwood tree | December 5, 10am | Typically $15–$25 |
