Event Description: The community is invited to share in the splendor of over 20,000 poinsettias in a variety of colors, sizes and shapes in magnificent holiday displays. The nursery farm atmosphere at the base of South Mountain is a special treat for the family. A free tractor ride will take you to the greenhouse where a self-guided tour shows you where the poinsettias have been lovingly grown and how to care for them in your home. Be sure to bring your cameras for all the amazing photo opportunities for your Christmas cards. Select your favorite poinsettias from the tent and a fresh cut Christmas Tree for your home. The Gardener’s World 25th Annual Poinsettia Festival is the perfect family tradition to begin the holiday season.
