Nature Coast Botanical Gardens will hold their 17th annual Christmastime event, “Holiday in the Gardens” on Saturday, December 7. Clubs, organizations, individuals and businesses are invited to participate in this community event by decorating a tree. The “Angels” from Angels on High will be incorporated into the Holiday in the Gardens event again this year.
As usual, we are asking for a $25 donation to reserve a tree for decorating. Please note, if you want a specific tree reserved, we will reserve it upon the receipt of $25. Due to demand, contact us soon for your reservations by calling (352) 600-7707 or email your questions to [email protected]. This annual event starts on December 7th and lasts until early January, when you un-decorate your tree.
Please try to decorate your reserved tree on December 7th. This is a community event with Santa, refreshments, and entertainment during the tree decorating on Saturday, December 7th from 9:00 AM until 1:00 PM. If you decorate your tree on a different time or date, you'll miss participating in the festivities scheduled.
On December 24th, two trees will be named 'people's choice' best decorated. Selection of the best trees is based on the number of votes by the public for the best decorated tree. Each vote is $1.00, however feel free to donate as much as you'd like for your favorite tree. All proceeds will be used by the Gardens for material and maintenance.
Children of all ages are invited to participate in Holiday in the Gardens Elf Parade. Dress as your favorite elf and join Santa in a short parade around the gardens on Saturday, December 7 at 11:00 AM. Please call 352-600-7707 to register for the parade and arrive at 10:50 for the line-up.
