It’s that time of year once again–our Christmas open house at Vander Giessen’s! For many of the 84 years we’ve been in business, we’ve hosted an open house to kick off the Christmas season and we’re excited to bring back the tradition again this year. Join us this Saturday, December 3 from 10:00-3:00 and enjoy time spent visiting with family and friends over a Christmas snack while you browse our greenhouses to pick out a fresh-cut Christmas tree or colorful poinsettia.

For customers and community members who have attended our open house in the past, we’re disappointed to inform you we won’t be serving our famous olie bollen (Dutch donut) this year as our olie bollen maker Elaine recovers from a cold. In lieu of olie bollen, we will be serving cookies, coffee, and hot cocoa this year.

We are also excited to offer open house sales this weekend–sale prices will be honored both Friday, December 2 and Saturday, December 3. Included in our sale are following items:

• All in-stock fountains & statuary 20% off
• Garden tools 20% off
• Garden gloves 20% off
• Packaged amaryllis bulbs 20% off

All sales run Friday, December 2 through Saturday, December 3 and discounts are limited to stock on hand.

Throughout this season, we also invite you to stop in to pick out wreaths, Christmas cactus, budded hellebores and much more to dress up your home with fresh color both inside and out. And while you shop, let your kids enjoy watching our Christmas train wind through our plant display in the greenhouse.

Thank you for your continued support this past year! May you have a very Merry Christmas and enjoy the blessings of the season.
