There's visits to Santa for kids, free hot chocolate and apple cider, marshmallow roasting, and a holiday market with beautiful Christmas ornaments, wreaths and more. As soon as you get there you can smell the fresh pine and there are trees of all sizes that you can choose from. The staff is friendly and helpful, there to answer your questions and help once you pick your tree. The trees are fully, good quality and reasonably prices. They usually carry your tree to the front where it's trimmed and wrapped then secured on your car. I did go on a Sunday so it was busy, but not overly crowded. I would definitely recommend if you're looking to purchase a live tree.

So, temper my review with this in mind. ;) That being said, I have zero complaints about this location. Other than... it simply doesn't have the same footprint they have out in D-ville. It feels cramped inside, and there isn't a lot of room for a cart or moving around too much. Still, they have a ton of gardening and decorating products, especially around Christmastime! We were actually here to see Santa, since we couldn't book him at the other location. But, I'm glad we checked it out. They have a Rise Up coffee shop attached too, which was convenient. Made for a nice little treat after shopping. I really don't have a lot else to say. It's still hit-or-miss as far as value is concerned. Some items seem vastly overpriced, and others are more reasonable. You'll pay more for seasonal items, of course, but check back after said season is over (or close to its end), and you can find some very good bargains. The customer service is on par as well. Very friendly staff who are helpful and approachable. Never had an issue with service at Homestead! Overall, great garden shop in Severna Park, and were it closer, I'd be a regular here instead. I love their holiday train setup in the back as well! (Though, again, Davidsonville has a LOT more space for a MUCH bigger display... but it's the effort that matters, and both deserve the highest marks!)

I wasn't so sure if it was open since it was hidden behind a seasonal snow cone shop. There wasn't really a parking lot but there are street and neighborhood parking. I thought it was going to be a lot with christmas trees for sale but it was more than that. There are multiple small retail buildings thoughtout the garden grounds. It may look like someones home but walk right in. Each building has different products to browse through like gardens supplies, home decor, kitchen goods, and appropriately christmas home decor. There was a greenhouse that I loved to browse through. I might have enjoyed walking through the greenhouse the most since it shielded me from the cold outside. Although there isn't drinks on the premises, there was a self serve hot cocoa area which was nice to walk around to warm yourself with. I would love to come back and stroll the area during spring and summer with all the flowers bloomed in their gardens.

There's multiple little sheds and tiny houses dotted throughout the gardens, each one with a different theme.

I could've spent hours meandering around each of the tiny homes looking at all the interesting goodies they have. If you're looking for a housewarming gift or really any gift at all, this is such a good spot to hit up - especially for that person who maybe seems like they already have everything. There's a lot of unique cards and other items that would certainly make for a memorable gift. Although the prices on some items were a bit high, other items were surprisingly reasonable. It's one of those places you could easily spend $250 or $25 depending on what you're looking for. All the ladies that work there were super nice too and you could tell they were excited to share more information. I will definitely be back!

It's a great fundraiser for them every year and their trees are always really healthy and look great once set up and decorated. We also have been going to the Terror Trail for the past couple of years. It's definitely a lot of fun for both the kids and parents. I'm not sure if the firehouse specifically hosts this event, but I think they do. Lastly, we have had local incidents that have required intervention from the firefighters and first responders. They have always been helpful, courteous, and quick to respond. It's a great firehouse with wonderful people that staff it. I'm glad we have them so close by.
