Fairfield Garden Center/Fountains of Wayne type places?

[302w 83]

I was sad to see the Fountains of Wayne building was demolished today, and even more sad to find out Fairfield Garden Center was closed after I googled it. 

Are there any great 'seasonal' places like these left? I loved going to each of these as a kid for Halloween and Christmas. The displays were a holdover from the past and unfortunately are a dying breed.

For those not familiar... what type of places are those?

Shame, FOW was my go to for gardening. Decades before was Alexandros(sp?), Garden Center. They were 1/2 mile or so before them, same side. They wee good competitors. Caved to eventually property for commercial use.

Retail garden centers have been all but killed off by Home Depot and Lowes.  For the holiday experience, you need to find a landscape nursery.  Around here we have Casola Farms and Brock Farms.

Standard garden centers that also put together extensive holiday displays and attractions. 

I'll link the FGC YouTube videos later
