Uniquely Manitoba: Shelmerdine Garden Center’s holiday transformation

WINNIPEG — In the fall and winter months, a forest grows in the Shelmerdine Garden Center. 

The local business is transformed into a winter wonderland, complete with a hundreds of evergreens, live mistletoe, and more than 14,000 beautiful poinsettias.

For over 75 years, Shelmerdine has helped Winnipeggers find holiday arrangements and decorations.

Not only can customers find their Christmas tree in the forest, but people can also browse through jam and food selections, clothing, and other unique gift ideas that make Shelderdine a destination shopping spot during the holidays for some Manitobans.

In this portion of the Uniquely Manitoba series, Global News talks to Krista Strang from the local garden centre.
