Holiday Sneak Peek
English Gardens Merchandising Managers have been travelling the world to find you the best selection of Christmas ornaments, trees and decorations. Soon the stores will be filled with a display of dazzling theme trees and lights. Here’s a preview:
Life-Like Christmas Trees
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. English Gardens carries an array of life-like trees that mirror the look of fresh trees. We have the area’s best selection with over 90 styles of full-size pre-lit trees and 19 styles of unlit trees.
A majority of our low-voltage LED lighted trees have the added benefit of power connect poles. This pole lighting system eliminates the need to connect multiple strings of lights and reduces overall set-up time.
Life-like trees with incandescent lighting feature English Gardens Premier Collection lights. Bulbs can last up to 3,000 hours, approximately 50% longer than standard incandescent light sets, and they are 47% brighter.
Light up your holidays!
English Gardens is your Christmas lighting headquarters. We feature over 100 different styles and colors of LED lights to help you create a magnificent display. English Gardens light sets feature sealed-bulb technology which increases both longevity and reliability.
Think green this holiday by recycling your old light sets. Receive $1 off any LED light set when you bring in an old set.
Ornaments
After you have the trees and lights up, it’s time to decorate with ribbon, silk florals, and ornaments, of course! English Gardens stores are stocked with ornaments to suit everybody’s style. Colors range from dazzling royal hues to shockingly sparkly platinum and gold.
English Gardens is a proud supporter of the Monet: Framing Life exhibit at the Detroit Institute of Arts. An exclusive ornament, inspired by Monet’s water lilies will be unveiled at the annual Christmas Open House on Sunday, November 5.
Life-Like Wreaths & Garlands
Decorate the exterior of your home with life-like wreaths and garlands. We offer decorated, undecorated and battery operated LED lighted. Pre-lit battery operated wreaths feature dual-color functionality, allowing you to change from clear to multi-colored with the flip of a switch.
House Plants
Poinsettias are the classic sign of the holidays. Create a beautiful transition from fall to winter with Autumn Leaves Poinsettias. Autumn Leaves features light orange foliage. Autumn Beauty is another fall-colored Poinsettia that is slightly mauve and sprinkled with glitter.
Floral
Transition from fall to winter with floral arrangements, as well. Arrangements are adorned with bright orange lilies, vibrant sunflowers and sweet-smelling eucalyptus. English Gardens floral designers can create one-of-a-kind arrangements. Our favorite is Light Your Way, shown above.
Evergreen Container Gardens
Our evergreen container gardens are ideal for decorating entranceways. Select from pre-made designs or let us create one just for you. Top it off with a bow from our exclusive Bow-tique. You pick the ribbon and we’ll make the bow.
Let us do it all for you…
We understand how demanding it can be to host holiday parties, keep the house clean and decorate. English Gardens can help eliminate your stress! Our award-winning holiday decorators can transform your home, or office, into a spectacular showcase for the holiday. Plus, we can remove the decorations after the holidays and provide storage.
English Gardens is decorating The Mall at Partridge Creek, The Village of Rochester Hills and The City of Royal Oak this year. Visit our website for more details.
