Merry Christmas to all our gardening and Christmas Decorating Friends. It is amazing how fast this season comes around each year and I never quite feel ready for it. But here it is ready or not… This year has been quite an eventful and busy year. A 50th birthday, a New Granddaughter, a 25th anniversary and now our daughter ‘Chef’ Kayla has shot herself a 8’ head to tail, speckled, blonde grizzly. Now what is with that… Not exactly what I imagined her doing when she was a little girl in pony tails and frilly dresses. I hear it is being made into a nice rug. As long as I don’t have to eat it… She assures us it will not be on the menu for our Ladies Soiree.

Speaking of events we have a busy season with events planned. Starting with this weekend. The Holly and The Ivy Christmas House Tour is this weekend. 8 Houses all decked out in their Christmas finery will be open to viewing. Tickets are still available for Friday night at $20 including wine and H’ordeurves as well as Saturday and Sunday at $10 each. Available at Tanglebank. We have been busy all week decorating Trethewey House and it looks amazing if I do say so myself. Buy a ticket and see for yourself.

Of Course it wouldn’t be Christmas without our Annual Ladies Christmas Soiree and this years is scheduled for Thursday Nov. 12th Tickets are $12 each with part proceeds once again going to Cyrus Centre. ‘Chef’ Kayla will be back to share her expertise creating some delicious h’ordeurves for us then showing us how to recreate them at home. As well we will be once again featuring design and decorating ideas for Christmas. Lots of door prizes and a great evening of wine, food and fun is on the menu so don’t miss it. Call a Friend and we’ll see you there.

This year we’ve filled the store with even more Great Christmas Décor . Inge Glas, mouth blown, hand painted old world Christmas ornaments made in the same way they have been made by this German Co. for the past 410years. Now that’s a collectible. As well as German Hand made ‘Ulbricht’ Nutcrackers. These are amazing. Arnold keeps reminding me that I can’t have them all, that I need to save some for you too. Silver and Green are hot colours here at Tanglebank this year with lots of sparkle and glamour for your home. If you like warmer colours check out our Egyptian Museum style glass ornaments, Gorgeous. Gourmet foods including the best cocoa you’ve ever made Hot Chocolate with will be available as well as the sprinkles to put on top. You can pick up your copy of our recipe here at Tanglebank.

In the Nursery you’ll find a great line up of plants to keep your garden looking great all winter and Greet all your Holiday Guests this Season. Our winter selection includes great winter interest shrubs and perennials including some new Sparkling Hellebores with fanciful Double Flowers of Pinks, Glistening Whites and Rich deep purples. Amazing. For those of you who can’t resist the fragrance of winter flowering Skimmias check out the new variegated variety ‘Marlot’ This Hot little plant, or should I say ’Cool’ is perfect plant for adding interest to a winter container or the shady garden.

No Holiday Season would be complete without Seasonal Flowers and Greens and we have one of the largest selections of greens available for all your Holiday Decorating and Spiffing up of Outdoor and indoor planters— Cedar-Pine-Fir-Juniper Berry-Incense Cedar-Magnolia Leaves-Red Huck-Tiger Wood-curly Willow-Dogwood-Ilex Berries-&Holly (I know they’re the same but one has berries with leaves and one has just leaves). Poinsettias and Christmas Trees will be available as well. Part proceeds of all Christmas Trees goes to Cyrus Centre to help our young people on the streets of Abbotsford. Be part of the solution check out Cyrus Centre.com

We Would like to Invite you all to our Annual Open House ‘An Old Fashioned Christmas’ Friday Nov. 20th to share a cup of hot chocolate around a warm glowing fire while you warm your hands around a delicious Hot Baked Potato Hand Warmer. I Hear Santa might be showing up. As well we will be hosting our annual Santa’s Workshop for all those busy little elves in your life. They can create a wonderful Bird Feeder to feed all Santa’s feathered friends. This is a FREE CHILDREN’S WORKSHOP Saturday Nov. 21 11am-3pm .
