2007 Open House a Success!
November 4th marked the official start to the holiday season for Hensler Nursery during our annual Christmas Fest Open House. Attendance was the highest we’ve seen on opening day. Our guests were able to preview new Fontanini collectibles and other great gift items in our Christmas Barn. We also provided a preview of our wreaths, kissing balls and other greenery to give our visitors ideas for decorating their homes.
Remember that Santa, the horse pulled wagon rides, and all the festivities of Christmas Fest officially open the day after Thanksgiving on November 23.
Thank you for coming to Open House! We’ll see you during the holidays when you pick out your tree and pick up the greenery that you ordered! Don’t forget that you can pre-order any of our greenery items from now through Christmas. We’ll have it ready for when you arrive.
Hensler Nursery hosted a Cardinal bus tour of 58 local residents who were interested in receiving a private tour of the nursery on November 1st. John Hensler and John Scheetz provided the group with a first look at the 24-foot Douglas Fir tree headed to the State House Capitol building in December. Visitors were greeted by Mrs. Claus and taken on a tram tour which included stops at seedling and transplant growing areas, and a visit to the adjoining tree field to observe Christmas trees being shaken and bailed for wholesale shipment.
