Fresh Cut Christmas Trees Now Available in the Nursery

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas at Kingsdene! The nursery is loaded with beautiful fresh cut “grown in the mountains” of North Carolina Frasiers, sweetly scented Douglas firs, plus wreaths, roping, bundled greens and more. You pick the tree and we do the rest, including trimming the bottom, netting, tie up and loading onto your car. Shop early (and often) for the best selection. Because our trees are fresh and full they sell very quickly so don’t delay.

Our quaint and cozy gift shop is filled with ornaments, gifts, decorated trees, and more. We have Boxwood, Magnolia, Winterberry, swags, decorated wreaths and mantle pieces. Plus a lovely and colorful selection of Poinsettias.

Come see what Santa and his elves have been up to. We are open everyday from 9 to 5. Shop local, shop small, and we will love you forever! HO HO HO

Our Garden Statuary Available in the Nursery

On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me……statuary! Looking for something a little different to give as a Christmas gift? We think a piece of garden statuary might be the answer. Rustic in appearance and made of cast cement the pieces in this collection will add a bit of whimsy and fun to your garden. We have a nice selection to choose from so come take a look. Open 9 – 5 everyday!

Reserve Your Fresh Trees for Christmas Now!

Read it and weep,

, only 47 days till Christmas! That being said if you are thinking this year of purchasing a live tree (ball and burlap for planting after the holidays) please reserve your tree now! Choose and purchase your tree and we will hold it for you until you are ready to pick it up. Now is the perfect time to dig and prepare the hole before it gets down right cold.

We have beautifully shaped Norway Spruce (Picea abies) in the 5 to 6′ range but if you add in the height of the root ball they should be approximately in the 6 to 7′ range once in your home. When planted, the Norway will maintain a nice pyramidal shape, they are low maintenance, sun to part shade, deer resistant and provides habitat for many varieties of birds. A live Christmas tree will be enjoyed for many years to come. Reserve now for the best selection, they tend to sell very quickly!

Our fresh cut trees will be ready for sale Thanksgiving week. First come, first served on fresh trees.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! HO HO HO

Seeing Wheel Bugs in Your Garden? It’s a Good Thing!

You may have seen this around your garden and home and thought “eeewwww”, what is that ugly thing? That, my dear, is a wheel bug and not to be feared unless they bite you. They are a generalist predator and love to feast on the dreaded spotted lantern fly, which is a good thing! Often known as assassin bugs they sport a dagger-like, piercing-sucking beak. They feast on something small like an aphid right up to something the size of a caterpillars. The wheel bug can reach up to 1 1/2 inches in length but don’t mess with them because if they bite you they can pack quite a punch. Avoid using broad-spectrum pesticides because this is one bug you want in your garden. We’ve posted photos of wheel bug eggs compared to the eggs of the spotted lantern fly so you can identify the one to seek out and destroy. Photos courtesy of U. of Md. Entomology Dept.
