Living Presents for Every Personality
Holiday Plant Gifts From Whitney’s Farm Market & Garden Center
The best holiday gifts aren’t always wrapped in paper—they’re grown. Living gifts bring color, fragrance, and joy to the season, and unlike traditional holiday presents, they continue giving long after December ends. At Whitney’s Farm Market & Garden Center, we offer a curated selection of holiday plants—each one perfect for someone special on your list.
Whether you’re shopping for a plant lover, a minimalist, a sentimental friend, or someone who insists they “can’t keep anything alive,” we have the perfect gift and the accessories to pair with it.

Why Living Gifts Matter
Living gifts feel personal. They brighten the home, purify the air, and offer weeks—or even months—of enjoyment. More importantly, they show thoughtfulness and a connection to nature during the darkest time of the year.
At Whitney’s, we help you choose plants that match each person’s personality and lifestyle, so your gift feels intentional and meaningful.
