What is the Holiday Market?
A festive extravaganza where the love of gardens meets a local craft market!
Every year we host over 100 local crafters while our nursery transforms with holiday magic into a winter wonderland. Join us as a customer OR a local crafter for this momentous event!
Nursery Seasonal Delights
Our nursery transforms into a wonderland of seasonal treats!
Cut Christmas trees and fresh pine wreaths made locally is just the tip of the snowflake! Inside our large greenhouse, we host a variety of seasonal displays of everything from themed Christmas trees to Santa's sleigh, and yes, Santa does visit! Outside, our evergreen trees and shrubs are bringing the magic with their decorated brilliant lights showing what every front yard could look like.
Come in and experience the magic during this wonderful event!
Local Crafters
What's a market without the magic of what makes our community unique?
We host over 100 local crafters and makers of every kind making our Holiday Market a one-stop gift buying hotspot. Here are just a few of the crafts they bring:
- Woodwork of all kinds
- Hand-blown glass
- Local artists & photographers
- Delicious fresh bread
- Desserts & Chocolates
- Local Wine, Beer, & Spirits
- Hand-woven baskets
- Clothing & beautiful bags
- Crochet & knits
- Hand-made pottery & dishware
and so much more!
Food Trucks
Local food trucks and drinks join us for this wonderful season! Every year is a little different, but you can rest assured that you'll be covered when your coffee craving kicks in or stomach rumbles while wandering the market and nursery.
Seating is available both outdoors by the food trucks and our fire pit, or indoors beside festive live music.
Live Music
What could be more enjoyable than a serenade of holiday music to accompany you on your journey through our beautiful nursery and market?
Each year, we bring in a few live music performers to give a little extra magic to the experience. Dates and times of our musicians are posted on our calendar.
"Santa! I Know Him!"
Santa comes to town just for our Holiday Market! Find him by his sleigh, wandering the market for pictures, or to let him know what's on your wish list.
Drawn in by the magic of big red, a favorite local cryptid or green grouch might make an appearance too, if you're lucky!
Workshops
Make a tradition with our wreath workshops! Every year, we bring in the freshest wreaths made by hand just down the road so you and your friends and family can enjoy creating your own custom wreath!
Among our popular wreath workshops, you might also find some seasonal favorites like our Holiday Porch Planter Workshop, or Floral Centerpiece Workshop.
For the latest updates on our workshops, please check out our Calendar!
Venue Status Notice
As we get ready for another cozy season of holiday shopping under the lights, we wanted to share a quick update about this year's venue. Check out the collapsible content to the right for the full details!
What is going on?
This year’s Holiday Market is planned for the back greenhouses, the same site we’ve used for the past two years. Recent changes to county code require us to obtain new approval for use of this specific area of the property, which we are currently awaiting.
Capacity
If the county does not approve use of the back greenhouses area, Farmington Gardens will hold the market in a different, approved area of the same property. Because that area may have a smaller capacity, including tighter limits on the number of vendors per craft type, vendor spots cannot be guaranteed on a first-accepted basis alone if we need to shift areas.
What it means for vendors
If we must shift to the smaller area and total accepted vendors exceed its capacity, priority will be given to returning vendors based on order of application submission, followed by new vendors as space allows. Vendors who do not submit payment within the required timeframe will forfeit their place in line and must reapply, receiving a new submission date. Any vendor who cannot be accommodated in the smaller area will receive a full refund of all fees paid, with the exception of the non-refundable application fee (which applies only to new vendors; this fee is waived for returning vendors).
When do we expect answers?
We expect to confirm by no later than September 30th, and we have a representative actively following up with the county to move things along.
If any changes occur, we will notify approved vendors via email.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the email stating my Application is submitted my acceptance email?
No.
Another email will be sent detailing your acceptance and more information. This can take anywhere from a couple days to two weeks depending on a first-come-first-serve basis and quantity of overall application submissions placed.
Is the market indoors or outdoors?
Vendors are located inside warm, covered greenhouses.
However, the areas between the greenhouses are outdoors. We recommend everyone attending the market wear warm layers to adjust for their own comfort as needed.
As a vendor, should I bring my tent?
We kindly ask that vendors make note of their intended use of a tent on their application form submissions with your tent dimensions.
Some of our locations have a height limit. Please let us know of your intention to use a tent to ensure you are placed in a location that can accommodate it.
Can I share a booth with another vendor?
You can share a booth with another vendor.
Please make a note of your intent to share a booth on BOTH application form submissions for BOTH vendors with names/businesses included.
For new vendors, the application form and application fee are required from all vendor parties even if they are sharing the same booth. Upon acceptance, booth and extra service fees will be due.
One of the vendors associated with the shared booth group must pay for the booth and fees (our online store does not allow split payments from multiple parties). Please ensure the name of the purchaser matches the name on one of the application forms.
Will there be WiFi?
Yes, but...
WiFi is limited and may, on occasion, lose service. We strongly recommend bringing your own tools for data transfers for non-cash purchases.
- Vendors are responsible for their own sales transactions, including providing change.
- All vendors must process payments independently; we are unable to complete transactions on behalf of vendors.

Yes. However, we recommend bringing your own snacks, lunches, and drinks in the event other options are not available.
