Also a big “heads up” to everyone. It is almost time for our 5th annual October Festival. We will have great sales as usual, some interesting and different vendors this year as well as some previous ones from past years. The festival will last three days so everyone will have the opportunity to schedule a trip out to Hazeltine Nurseries! The dates are October 15th, 16th and 17th (Thursday, Friday & Saturday) during our regular business hours 8am – 5pm Thursday and Friday and Saturday 9am – 5pm.

It is hard to believe how fast time goes by! We are already planning our 3rd annual Christmas Spectacular. It truly is a magical time with our driveway streamed with lights, our several departments creating their own themed areas leading to our Garden Center where the magic begins. Michelle and her gifted touch-of-class really make it a Christmas holiday in Florida at our Garden Center. As you enter the greenhouse, where we keep all our fresh cut Christmas trees in beds of water and overhead irrigation, the overwhelming smell brings back all your memories of Christmas. Poinsettias of several colors, unique and traditional gifts everywhere, and holiday music playing. We are proud to offer this joyous experience to you and your family that you definitely will not find anywhere else. Our hours will be 8am - 8 pm, Monday thru Saturday, 12pm - 4pm on Sunday. Hope to see you soon!
