Decoration madness at the Garden Centre

Gerben Jacobs Gerben Jacobs πŸ“

During the Kids autumn break, we visited a local garden centre that had gone all out with seasonal decorations.

The Intratuin in Elst is not as big/famous as the one in Duiven, but also not as crowded.

Kids were upset that the 'oliebollenkraam' was closed. No snacks for us.

A close-up Christmas display featuring three faux deer busts emerging from red-paneled frames, flanked by lit evergreen trees and a string-light-covered bare tree. Small gnome figures and decorative mushrooms are visible near the base.

A display cabinet decorated for a magical or spooky holiday theme, featuring a white, lit Christmas tree on the left and shelves on the right filled with potion bottles, candles, spiderwebs, and an open book. A stuffed white owl sits near the lower drawers.
This is like the back-office of a Harry Potter kinda room.
A decorative blue Phoenix figure with a golden beak and a golden, crown-like headpiece, positioned inside a cage, with soft, out-of-focus lights in the background.
