There’s no place like home for the holidays—especially when it’s filled with the warming fragrance of Frasier Fir.

Discover the Magic of Christmas This holiday season, visit Bucks Country Gardens—the premier Christmas destination in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.

Bucks Country Gardens 1057 N. Easton Rd., Doylestown 215.766.7800 buckscountrygardens.com

2 LEHIGHVALLE YST YLE.COM

Bucks Country Gardens is well-known for offering the traditional fresh-cut trees, greens, poinsettias and custom-made evergreen planters that one would expect for the holiday season, but they’re so much more than that. Discover the magic of Christmas in their breathtaking 10,000-square-foot showroom.

The perfect tree is often the heart of the home during the holiday season. Donna, the Christmas Specialist at Bucks Country Gardens, hand-selects exclusive, lifelike artificial trees, specifically built for each customer’s home. She picks everything from variety, texture, light count, technology and size to suit any budget. This year’s tree selection offers Easy-Pole technology, making connection a breeze, plus warm, environmentally conscious LED lights.

As a long-term investment, each tree is sure to check all the boxes: realistic, easy to use and dependable. These trees offer an industry-leading warranty, plus the excellent support of Bucks Country Gardens’ customer service.

Continuing through the showroom, there’s no lack of inspiration. Bucks Country Gardens features over 20 themed designer trees and home décor displays featuring everything from ornaments and ribbons to wreaths and table runners.

Each theme, cleverly defined by a name, showcases colors, décor and textures.

Take, for example, “Blue Ice”: Crystal and silver ornaments complement the abundant blue décor. Dangling icicles from the ceiling add extra depth to an already stunning, must-see theme.

Josie and Casie, along with their team of elves, hand-craft these incredible presentations of creativity, offering inspiration second to none. In addition to the vibrant red and green of traditional Christmas, visitors will also see unique themes like “Peppermint,” “Woodland,” “Santa and Snowman,” plus many more.

Inspiration doesn’t stop with design; it flows right into gift-giving. Jewelry brands Dune and E Newton are sure front-runners. Or gift the scent of Christmas with Thymes Frasier Fir candles and sachets.

Did anyone know that the most popular holiday gift is socks? The selection is huge and features HotSox, a clever brand designed to delight with cozy comfort and unique styles.

Above: Peppermint & gingerbread delights evoke the tastes of the holidays.

Frosty blues, whites & silvers adorn the “Blue Ice” tree.

Embrace the great outdoors with woodsy décor inspired by a snow-covered forest.
