The Horsford Nursery
2111 Greenbush Road, Charlotte
802-425-2811
The Horsford Nursery is the state’s oldest plant nursery and has sat on the same 40-acre Charlotte plot since 1893. Driving onto the garden grounds, I quickly become intoxicated by heavenly winter sights and smells: decorative wreaths, burning wood crackling in an outdoor fire pit and row upon row of fragrant, impossibly lush Christmas trees.

While Horsford’s might be a local jewel, each holiday season the nursery’s signature wreaths are shipped to loyal customers all over the country. The nursery’s many holiday offerings can be found online.

From full, lush Christmas trees, the nursery’s signature wreaths and bows for the entryway, Pointsettas for the table, holiday cuttings for the mantel, and colorful ornaments for the tree, Horsford Nursery offers one stop shopping for home holiday decor.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator style=”solid” padding_top=”20″][vc_single_image image=”22356″ img_size=”large”][vc_separator style=”solid” padding_top=”20″][vc_single_image image=”22357″ img_size=”medium”][vc_separator style=”double” padding_top=”20″][vc_column_text][divider style=”e.g. blank, dotted, solid, double” padding_top=”0″ padding_bottom=”0″][/divider]
