This quote holds a bit of truth. Here at Bayport Flower Houses, we fully embrace the holiday season and everything it has to offer. Our home-grown poinsettias, carefully nurtured right here in our greenhouses, are beginning to show their brilliant reds, whites, and pinks just in time to fill your home with festive cheer.
The season also brings some of our favorite traditions, like our Holiday Open House Event, where weâll be sharing inspiration, holiday dĂ©cor ideas, and plenty of seasonal spirit. Itâs one of the highlights of our year, and we canât wait to celebrate with you!
And of course, as Thanksgiving draws near, our team has been busy crafting beautiful centerpieces to grace your holiday table. Whether youâre hosting a big family
gathering or a cozy dinner, a hand-designed arrangement from our designers adds the perfect finishing touch.
The holidays always remind me of so many wonderful memories here at the garden center early mornings in the greenhouse surrounded by the scent of pine and poinsettias, or watching families pick out the perfect centerpiece together These are the simple joys of the season, and we feel so lucky to share them with all of you.

Home Grown Poinsettias
Starting at
$9.99
The poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima) has long been a holiday favorite, adding vibrant color to homes throughout the Christmas season and beyond. Todayâs newer varieties are longer-lasting and available in a stunning range of colorsâred, pink, cream, white, and even unique shades like lime-green âEnvyâ.
Among our favorites are the PrincettiaÂź series, featuring four beautiful shades of pink that make the perfect gift plant. Here at Bayport Flower Houses, we grow over 25 varieties of poinsettias right in our own greenhouses.
Poinsettias thrive in warm, bright, and humid conditionsâbut dislike cold drafts, darkness, or overwatering. And for that extra festive touch, our design team can customize any of our home-grown poinsettias with elegant bows, glitter branches, wintergreens, ornaments, and moreâcreating a truly one-of-a-kind holiday gift.
This Thanksgiving, let your table bloom with the beauty of the season Each of our handcrafted centerpieces is designed right here at Bayport Flower Houses, with fresh flowers and a touch of holiday warmth the perfect finishing touch to your family gathering.

The air feels a little crisper, the days are a little shorterâand just like that, fall is here.While many of us are busy with back-to-school routines, cozying up our homes, or even starting to think about the holidays, itâs easy to forget about our gardens. But this season is actually one of the most important times of the year for setting your plants up for long-term success. If cared for properly now, your garden will not only survive the winter but also thrive when spring rolls around again. Here are a few key steps to focus on before the frost comes:
Pruning can feel intimidating, but it doesnât have to be. While heirloom varieties of roses, hydrangeas, and other traditional plants require very specific pruning techniques, most modern cultivars are far more forgiving. The key is to remember that plants are preparing for dormancy during the winter. Cutting back excess branches and foliage allows them to conserve energy and strengthen their root systems before the frost sets in.
When in doubt, give us a call or stop by and ask us directly. Weâre always happy to give advice tailored to your specific plants.
Itâs easy to think mulch is only for weed control in summer, but in fall it plays an even more important role: protecting the root zone A 2â3 inch layer of mulch acts like insulation, helping to prevent freezing and locking in valuable moisture
If spreading mulch isnât in your plan this year, donât worry you can use fallen leaves instead Rake them into your garden beds rather than hauling them away Not only do they help insulate your plants, but as they break down, they provide natural nutrients for your soil
Even though your plants are slowing down, they still need food and water. Fall is the perfect time to give them a âlast mealâ before dormancy. Use either a balanced synthetic fertilizer (look for fall/winter formulas) or an organic option like compost, fish emulsion, or seaweed extract. Just be mindful not to overdo it follow the recommended fall application rates on your product.
As for watering, keep an eye on the weather. While fall typically brings steady rain, there can be dry spells, too. Donât assume your plants are getting enough moisture check the soil and water as needed until the ground begins to freeze.
Gardening doesnât stop when summer ends it just changes. By giving your plants the right care now, youâre setting yourself up for a lush, healthy, and rewarding spring. As always, if youâre unsure about pruning, fertilizing, or any aspect of fall garden care, donât hesitate to reach out.
Happy Gardening!
