Even if you don't normally deck your halls come December, you may be looking for a way to add some festive cheer to the space you've been spending so much time in lately. Luckily, there are plenty of places where you can find just what you need in Seattle, whether you want to make your own wreath, cut down a giant tree, or order a Christmas cactus online to add to your growing houseplant collection. Below, we've rounded up some accessible nurseries and Christmas tree lots in the city, as well as a few further-flung U-cut lots that still have trees available, plus places to get both DIY and professionally crafted wreaths.

CHRISTMAS TREE NURSERIES & GARDEN CENTERS

Carpinito Brothers
Browse thousands of green trees in Carpinito Brothers' outdoor lot, or head indoors to check out flocked, frosty-looking white Christmas trees, poinsettias, wreaths, and other holiday decor. Once you choose a tree, they'll help you tie it down to get it home—they even write, "Think your car's too small? Think again!" Bring the kids to say hello to Santa's reindeer and "7-month-old best friends" Newman and Ziggy (a camel and a zebra!), or bring your Instagram boyfriend to take pictures of you with their new winter wonderland light display.
Kent

City People's Garden Store
No appointments are necessary to browse the outdoor tree lot, where you'll find a variety of Noble, Nordmann, and Fraser firs—but they advise you to bundle up in case you have to wait outside. (If you need fortifications, head to the neighborhood early for brunch beforehand on Cafe Flora Like List 's heated patio, which is conveniently on the same block.) You can also pick up garland, wreaths, and lots of other holiday decorations, some of which are available inside. Delivery is also available on weekdays.

Magnolia Garden Center
This garden store's selection of Washington-grown Noble, Fraser, and Nordmann fir trees is accessible two ways this year: You can make an appointment to shop in person, or order a specific size online to be delivered (for free, if you live in Magnolia). They also have a gift shop with products like candles and puzzles.

Magnolia

Molbak's Garden + Home
The giant poinsettia tree is the star attraction at Molbak's: It's as tall as a Christmas tree and apparently a 36-year-running tradition to take your holiday card photo in front of it. Life-size Santa cutouts are also available for your selfie needs, in place of their typical real-life Santa. Plus, shop fresh trees and wreaths, fake (excuse us, "forever") trees, Christmas cacti, ornaments, and more. Reservations are recommended for shopping in person, or you can shop online for curbside pickup.

Swansons Nursery
If you're looking to fill your home (and garden, if you've got one) with the aroma of freshly cut Christmas trees and seasonal native foliage, make an appointment to shop at this Ballard plant haven, which is all decked out in pretty holiday lights and even has a model train village. In addition to holiday ornaments and evergreen wreaths, they tout their "Spin and Pick" system (in which hand-selected trees suspended off the ground and "ready for a spin by the pickiest purveyor"), and they'll continue to offer the popular, specially grown "Burton Blue" Noble fir. You can also shop for wreaths and other holiday decor and pick it up in person the next day.
In-person shopping, reservations required
Crown Hill

Sky Nursery
Get inspired by the nursery's 31 (!) decorated display trees—which are themed around everything from camping to vegetables—then choose your own to take home from their selection of Noble, Nordmann, and Fraser firs.
