Fraser Fir Christmas trees back at Wonder Gift & Garden

The holiday season is upon us, and there’s no better way to get into the festive spirit than by shopping small and supporting local businesses. 

Kingston Springs' Wonder Gift and Garden at The Land is once again offering its popular Fraser Fir Christmas trees, perfect for adding a touch of nature to your holiday celebrations. Whether you're picking out the perfect tree or searching for unique gifts, this local gem is a one-stop shop for all your seasonal needs.

Co-owner Joy Boven recently made a trip to a farm in North Carolina to select this year’s trees, an experience she described as “magical,” and one she hopes to turn into an annual tradition. The trees, native to two Tennessee counties, are available in sizes ranging from 5-6 feet to 9-10 feet, priced between $80 and $210.

2023 was Boven’s first year selling Christmas trees at The Land. The previous owners of the space, dubbed Thrive Garden Center, sold trees to the community. Last year, Boven promised to keep the tradition of providing Christmas trees to Kingston Springs, noting how special it was to be a place that provides memories for local families. 

"Being a small business that shares in the wonder of the holiday season with the community fills our hearts with joy in a way that is beyond words,” Boven told the Gazette this season. “We are so grateful for the support we have received and cherish this time of providing a place for folks to be merry and bright together.”

In addition to the trees, Wonder Gift and Garden is offering a variety of mixed greenery wreaths, ranging in price from $33 to $50. The shop’s gift store is also stocked with a variety of holiday presents, from festive décor to one-of-a-kind treasures for everyone on your shopping list.

Open Wednesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Wonder Gift and Garden is the perfect place to find everything you need for a memorable holiday season – while supporting a local business.
