Marders Garden Center hosted their Annual Open House over Thanksgiving weekend, signaling the official onset of the Hamptons holiday season.  You won’t find any Charlie Brown Christmas trees here folks, but you will find the most lavish, colorful and creative displays to celebrate the season created by Marder’s talented team of garden designers, wreath makers, flower arrangers, and artisans happily displaying their couture Christmas extravaganza which is simply breathtaking.

From Christmas trees laden with pheasants and white doves, to topiary mannequins festooned with floral headdresses, every inch of Marders Garden Center inspires “oohs & ahhs”. Get inspired to plot a creative new design scheme for your Christmas tree this year, or scope out some great holiday gift ideas as well.
