Christmas Shop Open & Wreath Making Workshops

Posted on by

We’re so delighted to have our Christmas Store fully open for you. We have seasonal decor of the living kind (pointsettias, amaryllis, potted Christmas trees and full size trees) and many items that you can decorate with year after year.

A wonderful time out

A stroll around Carp Garden Centre at this time of year is quite magical. Get a bite to eat and a hot drink at Eldon’s Pantry or Alice’s Village Cafe, then stop by for a relaxing visit.

Our greenhouses are bursting with red, green, and golden hues, and the giant trees that ring the property create a quiet space away from the frenzy in the rest of our lives.

Our shop is full of Christmas and winter themed decor; you’re sure to find something that’s perfect for your home.

Tropicals for your home

Posted on by

We know the summer is a bit of a fluid time for finding out what’s going on locally. Maybe you’re just coming back from vacation or just about to go.

We want to be sure you know that we have a stunning array of tropicals plants in to choose from at Carp Garden Centre. We’ve got such an interesting selection — the pretty, the unusual, and everything in between.

Do any of these strike your fancy:

Anthuriam
Baby Toes
Dipladenia
Echeveria
Maranta (Red and Green)
String of Pearls
String of Turtles

That’s just a small taste of the variety we have in our greenhouses.

Come into Carp Garden Centre before the long weekend when we tend to see a lot of our best stock head out the door!

Talk to our specialized staff if you need help in choosing. We look forward to seeing you!
