Searching for the best places to find good old-fashioned live Christmas decor? No need to search far and wide like Clark Griswold in National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. Valley Growers Garden Center sells poinsettias, wreaths, garland, cut Christmas trees and more, right here in Murfreesboro.

Serving the area for 24 years, most of Valley Growers Garden Center’s product is locally sourced. Owner Susie Tramel’s family grows the products on a 650-acre Tennessee farm with about 65 greenhouses. Tramel said that they grew about 25,000 poinsettias in total this season. The cut Christmas trees are from South Carolina this year.

Tramel encourages everyone to take advantage of the live decorations while they are available, because “nothing beats the look and fragrance of a real Christmas tree.”

Valley Growers Garden Center can be found next to Rutherford Farmers Co-Op on Middle Tennessee Boulevard in Murfreesboro. It is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and on Saturdays from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. Find more information about the local business on the Valley Growers Garden Center Facebook page.
