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.

Choosing trees for your lot – Red Oak

Posted on by

Native to North America, the Red Oak is a stunning shade tree suitable for larger lots and rural settings.

Red Oak or Quercus ‘Rubra’ will reach mature height of 75’ tall and width of 40’-60 wide with a life expectancy of 150 to 500 years.

Leaves are a deep glossy green in the summer and change to a beautiful red in the fall.

These trees are great for encouraging wildlife; its acorns are an important winter food source for squirrels, deer, wild turkeys, and several songbirds.

The Red Oak prefers a soil that has moderate moisture and is well drained.
