Christmas at Ivy Nursery

I went to the Ivy Nursery in Charlottesville this afternoon to pick something up and I must say, I just love this place.   When you see these photos you'll see what I mean.   This photo (above) is the front door. It was all decorated for the holidays and it was packed.  Many of the wreaths were gone already.



My pictures did not come out well but this is a boxwood wreath with a large burlap bow.

They love ivy and topiaries and plaid here:

Love this one:

 

Santa, I would love one of these under the tree, concrete lambs with great satin bows....

Orchids are everywhere:

More plants and the poinsettias are quite nice too:

You can't see this too well but this is a reindeer topiary.  It is wonderful.  I have a pig from last year that I had "refurbished". I was so tempted to bring this guy home!

More great orchids:

Another boxwood wreath:

There are so many gift ideas here.

And of course, some equestrian influence:

And the ribbon...........

And a few more gift ideas:

Here is some information about Ivy Nursery from their web site.  If ever in Charlottesville........
