Home for the Holidays

December 3 - January 8

Take a journey home when you visit The Leaf. This holiday season, the Babs Asper Display House will be transformed to showcase plants and settings that remind us of the experiences, traditions, and people that make home, home. Earthy scents with hints of ginger, peppermint, and cloves will fill the air as an ode to fresh holiday baking. Rustic, natural materials will adorn spaces that evoke memories of spending time with those you love. Around the globe, people from all cultures and backgrounds celebrate different holidays and traditions with one thing in common - coming home to gather with friends and family. The holiday season may feel chilly outside, but inside, we're overtaken by feelings of warmth, comfort, and coziness.
