This week I’m stepping away from the studio and taking you along on a cozy seasonal outing to Homestead Gardens Holiday Shop — something that’s been on my list for weeks.
Homestead Gardens transforms into a winter wonderland this time of year, with multiple plant-filled rooms dressed for the holidays, each one offering its own atmosphere and sense of discovery.
We wander through lush greenery, twinkling lights, and beautifully styled holiday décor that somehow feels new and inspiring every single year.
One of my favorite parts of the visit is their charming train display, featuring multiple trains weaving through detailed miniature villages and snowy scenes — a nostalgic, storybook moment that feels both joyful and calming. Outside, there’s a cozy fire, real Christmas trees, live-cut greens, and that unmistakable winter air that makes you want to linger just a little longer.
I went with a purpose, though — and at the end of the video, I’m sharing a small holiday mini haul, so be sure to stay until the end to see what came home with me and how I’m planning to use it.
If you’re craving inspiration, beauty, and a gentle pause during the busy holiday season, I hope this little outing brings you along for a moment of wonder.
