The cartoon dog who’s become a holiday icon is greeting you at West Seattle Nursery‘s holiday open house; Snoopy is next to a bin for your West Seattle Food Bank donations. We found some real pups there too:
Free holiday pet photos are part of the open house; you had to sign up in advance, and they’re all booked up, but it’s fun to watch (and after the sessions are over, the same backdrop is available for DIY pics). Another must-see feature today (and throughout the season), themed trees full of ornaments:
And if you like to set up your own tree on the early side, West Seattle Nursery (5275 California SW; WSB sponsor) already has some in!
The open house continues until 2 pm; West Seattle Ukulele Players are scheduled to be playing right now – they were setting up when we were there – and a wreathmaking demo is scheduled for 12:30 pm – you can book time to make your own wreath at WSN throughout the season, too.
P.S. Gardeners visiting the open house will want to stop outside the nursery’s north building and talk with a volunteer from the Seattle Growing Garden Network, which is recruiting volunteers!
