Christmas Trees, Wreaths, Gifts and Family Fun at Scottsdale Farms!

November 21, 2016

Selecting a Christmas tree together is a fun and bonding experience for any family. It's a time to enjoy a hay ride and pony rides, visit with Santa Claus, view farm animals, get your face painted, and enjoy a latte or hot chocolate while roasting marshmallows around a roaring campfire! Your family can create this fun tradition at Scottsdale Farms Garden Center!

Scottsdale Farms is located on 65 picturesque acres in North Fulton County, and has been helping to beautify your landscape for many years. From our wide variety of plants to our cozy cafe and our annual family events, there is something for every age and member of your family.

Tips for Selecting the Perfect Christmas Tree and Wreath

  • Freshness: Freshness is very important to help ensure your tree looks good throughout the entire season. Ask your garden center when their trees were harvested.
  • Tree Lots: Trees should be displayed outside in a wooded or shady area, not in a sunny parking lot. After selecting a tree, ask the garden center for a fresh cut and place the tree into a stand with a large water capacity right away.
  • Flocking: Whether powdery white or light blue to resemble snow on a moonlit night, snow-flocked trees help needles adhere to the three better. Remember to put them in a stand with plenty of water!
  • Tree Variety: Christmas trees come in fraser fir, noble fir, nordmann fir, concolor fir, white pine and silvertip fir. For the most aromatic, choose a fraser fir.
  • Wreaths: Consider wreaths made on site at a garden center to ensure freshness. At home, mist your wreath daily with a spray bottle to help preserve the freshness.
