Fun Holiday Events at Knupper Nursery in Palatine

Knupper Offers Holiday Events for the Whole Family!

Visions of greenery, berries and bows are filling my head! Those who know me know that I love to garden. That doesn’t stop just because the weather has gotten colder. Now I’ll put my efforts toward creating beautiful winter pots. I’ll be crafting them for the front of my Long Grove home and my Coldwell Banker office in Buffalo Grove. Knupper has everything that I need to do that along with some great holiday events that are fun for the whole family.

This weekend (Saturday & Sunday, November 13th and 14th), Santa will be stopping by for that first photo op with the kids. Why not take this opportunity to get that perfect picture before all of the craziness of the holiday season?

The Winter Container Garden Workshop takes place next weekend. When I first started making winter pots, I attended this workshop and it’s full of great information and a lot of fun. I loved the help that I got from the staff and seeing what others were creating. The fee is $45 and includes all the materials you need. The first workshop takes place on Friday, November 19th at 2pm.

The weekend of November 20th and 21st brings the Christmas Festival to Knupper. Santa’s reindeer will be there on the 20th from 1pm – 3pm. Children can pet and feed the live reindeer. Let’s not forget our pets. Pet pictures with Santa can be taken on November 21st from 1pm – 3pm. I love that they’re accepting donations for Save-A-Pet at that time.

These are just a few of the events that Knupper is offering for the holiday season. For a full list of holiday happenings, visit their website. Knupper is located at 1801 N. Rand Road in Palatine.

Buffalo Grove Area Didier Farms Pumpkin Fest Begins Saturday!

Fun Fall Activities for the Whole Family!

 Saturday, September 25th, begins a Buffalo Grove area tradition – the Didier Farms Pumpkin Fest. For many years, my family and I enjoyed a visit to the farm stand, a hayride and picking the very best pumpkin. The pumpkin picking could take a long time as they each searched for their favorite.

 Over the years the Didiers have expanded the fall event to include pony rides, children’s mechanical rides, Sunshine Crafts painting activities and the Inflatable Pumpkin, a bouncing moonwalk. But that’s not all! Birthday parties are also available during the Pumpkin Fest.

My kids are grown now and we still talk about the fun of pumpkin picking. A visit to Didier Farms makes for some great memories. Didier Farms is a very popular place in the fall. That’s the one thing I’m not looking forward to – the traffic as I travel from my home in Long Grove to my Coldwell Banker office in Buffalo Grove. But it’s worth it as I think about all those families making memories.

 Didier Farms is located at 16678 Aptakisic in Lincolnshire. For more information, visit the Didier Farms website and have some fun this weekend!
