Hello from the Hilltop team! December has arrived, and we’re embracing the festive season with exciting new arrivals and seasonal must-haves. From locally sourced treats to stunning festive décor, we’ve filled our garden centre with everything you need to make this Christmas extra special. Whether you’re shopping for gifts, festive greenery, or just popping into our garden centre with café near Clacton, you’re in for a treat. Here’s what’s new this month at your favourite Essex garden centre:
Locally Produced Infused Honey
We’re thrilled to introduce infused honey from The Bee Friendly Company. These locally-produced jars of deliciousness aren’t just sweet — they’re bursting with festive flavour. Available in unique varieties like Chilli, Ginger & Turmeric, Festival Spice, and Gingerbread Spice, they make a thoughtful gift for foodies, or a perfect addition to your food cupboard this Christmas. Pair them with cheese boards, drizzle them over desserts, or stir them into warm drinks for a festive twist. Supporting local producers has never tasted so good!
British-Grown Poinsettias
December wouldn’t feel complete without the cheerful reds of poinsettias. Our garden centre in Essex now has a stunning selection of British-grown poinsettias, fresh and ready to bring the festive spirit to your home. These vibrant plants are ideal for decorating dining tables, windowsills, or even as a thoughtful gift for friends and family. Keep them thriving by placing them in a warm, bright spot away from draughts.
Living Gifts: Indoor Plants and Planted Arrangements
Looking for a gift that grows? We have a beautiful range of indoor plants and festive planted arrangements, perfect for spreading festive cheer. Orchids, succulents, and mini roses make great low-maintenance gifts, while our seasonal baskets add a festive touch to any room. These living gifts are a thoughtful way to show someone you care, while bringing a touch of nature into their home.
Traditional Christmas Wreaths
Nothing says “welcome” like a traditional Christmas wreath hanging on your front door. Our collection includes handmade wreaths crafted from fresh, fragrant foliage and adorned with berries, cones, and festive ribbons. They’re perfect for making your home feel warm and inviting for the season. Pop in and browse our selection, while stock lasts.
Premium-Grade Christmas Trees
If you haven’t picked out your tree yet, now’s the time! At Hilltop Garden Centre Clacton, we’ve got a wonderful selection of cut and pot-grown Christmas trees, all premium grade (you won't find quality trees like these at the supermarket;). Whether you prefer the classic aroma of a freshly cut tree or the convenience of a pot-grown one, we’ve got you covered. Stop by early to reserve your perfect tree and make this Christmas truly magical. If you want to take advantage of our local delivery service, please ask a team member in-store for more details.
