What's Happening

Events at Colonial

A few times a year the garden center turns into something more than a place to buy plants. Open houses, hands-on workshops, and evenings under the lights. Everyone is welcome, and most of it is free.

On the Calendar

The next one is in the works

We are planning what comes next. Dates land here and on Facebook first, so check back or follow along and you will hear about it in time to plan around it.

Nothing on the calendar this minute

The next one is being planned right now. In the meantime, the traditions below come back every year, so you can pencil those in while we lock in a date.

Every Year

Traditions worth planning around

These come back every season. Dates get announced here and on Facebook a few weeks ahead, so check back or follow along.

Holiday Open House

Returns each holiday season

The lot fills with fresh-cut Fraser firs, Douglas firs, and blue spruces, and the shop turns over to wreaths, garland, poinsettias, and hundreds of custom holiday planters. It is the weekend the season officially starts around here.

Wreath & Planter Workshops

Several dates each season

Hands-on sessions where you build your own wreath or seasonal planter and take it home the same day. Greens, containers, and trimmings are supplied, and someone who does this for a living stays at your elbow the whole time. Seats are limited, so these fill up.

Seasonal Events

Announced through the year

Beyond the open houses and workshops, the team runs other seasonal events through the year, and the displays turn over with them. Mums and pumpkins in fall, fresh-cut trees and wreaths through the holidays, Easter lilies and the first pansies in spring. Dates are posted here and on Facebook as they are set.

Never miss an open house

Dates go out on Facebook and in the newsletter first. Follow along and we will make sure you hear about the next one in time to plan for it.
