Field Trip ~
It’s a winter wonderland
at Wights Nursery in
Lynnwood, Washington.
It’s a snowy scene, straight out of the North Pole.
I’ve answered the age-old question:
‘To flock or not to flock….’
I’m flocking
and I’m on the move, to find the
perfect tree! This is my first foray into the
world of flocked trees…and It’s like I’m seeing
Christmas…for the first time!
Oh Lord, can you tell I’m smitten?
Pull it together girl…it’s just a tree!
But they are so pretty and there are so many choices…
light, medium or heavy flocking,
with or sans glitter.
The staff at Wights, patiently explains it all. Thank you!
In the end, I’ve decided to go with medium to
heavy flocking…no glitter.
These rows of gorgeous snow laden Nobles, are good to go but
I’m have our holiday tree, pre-strung with lights and then flocked
and for the first time ever ...someone else, is doing the lights!
(Don’t worry, I’ll be stringing lights right along with you, on our second
tree, of green!) So now, it’s off to the natural section,
to pick out just the right tree.
I think this handsome ,
8-footer has our name on it!
The process will take two to three days. As an
added bonus, the tree becomes fire retardant and
there is no watering required! Who knew?
Our first ever, flocked tree will be in house,
ready to decorate, by midweek!
Can’t wait!

Wow….I want one!! I’ll be searching our area for this kind of nursery / service. You know how much I love white!! Love that they don’t need water, too. You are smart to get the tree pre-strung with lights. I can imagine the messiness of stringing lights around all the flocked branches. I’m really excited to see your holiday decor, Monica. You are always so creative :)
Cheers,

PS – I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
I can see why you are smitten – they look so festive. I love it!
All best,
Phyllis

I have never seen these around us! They are dreamy! Straight out of a fairy tale!
Love the pics and can’t wait to see your tree(s)!
when we lived in the pikes peak house, we would alternate years, one green tree, then one flocked tree, a few times we got a living tree then my dad planted it in the yard. great memories!.. I loved it they are so beautiful!
Hello BJ, I remember the Simone family having a huge & gorgeous flocked tree in their picture window…
just beautiful! xxo Monica
Hi Monica,
We live in Southern California and green trees never seem to last so my husband bought our own commercial flocker – crazy I know but it has paid for itself several times over. I always put the lights on first and low and behold we have a tree that looks great throughout the season and it’s fireproof too! We are hooked and haven’t had a green tree for quite some time. Enjoy!
Laurie, Sounds like money well spent to me!! I’m in love with our flocked tree too!! Thank you for visiting &
Merry Christmas!
Monica
