Garden Centres are hands down one of the best places to do your Christmas shopping. If you want to get it all done at once, in a beautiful setting, then take a trip to Warran Glen Garden Centre. They’ve got the perfect balance of gifts for the home and gifts straight from the garden.
First on the Christmas list is the amazing Wollemi Pine.
This plant made big headlines about 10 years ago when it was rediscovered by a bushwalker in the greater Blue Mountains area. Thought to be extinct, there is less that 100 of these trees known to still exist in the wild, but lots more in nurseries.
Fossil evidence of the Wollemi Pine dates back to the cretaceous period some 110 million years ago, in other words this plant was around with the dinosaurs so it’s a rare find.
They make a great gift because they come with a great story, but they’re also brilliant Christmas trees. Even though they are a large tree in the wild, you can keep a Wollemi Pine in a big pot for most of its life, so they’re perfect on patio or verandah. You can even use them indoors in a well lit area.
Royalties from the sale of Wollemi Pine go towards conserving this rare beauty and other threatened plant species, you even get your own certificate of authenticity and when Christmas is over you’ll have your own piece of potted history.
If you want to make your garden stand out from the crowd, then get to know Entanglement. They are the trendsetters in creative garden accessories. You’ll find everything from sleek stylish water features to rustic pot holders and planters. The designs come in earth bronze or classic black. They are unique and well and very cool.
If you’re looking for more inspiration don’t go past another top name in home and garden decoration; Inspirational Elements. You’ll love their water features which are designed to look like natural materials (like granite) but are incredibly lightweight. They come complete with pump and lighting so you can enjoy your little oasis day and night. You could bring structure and height to garden with their stunning arbours. There’s one to suit every garden. For true Garden style, give your courtyard a facelift with some unique wall art.
You’re guaranteed to have tired legs after all that shopping. Well it’s a good excuse to escape to Warran Glens café, an idyllic setting for your Christmas gathering. Plus there’s no harm in a little self indulgence, after all it is the festive season.
