Spring time at Barrett's presents a variety of gardening and landscape seminars. The nursery department offers seminars on rose bushes, perennials, herbs and pruning. The garden center department conducts water gardening and ponds, lawn care, and wild bird feeding seminars. While spring is the Barrett's prime selling season, Christmas is also a special time. In October, the garden center is transformed into a Christmas Wonderland featuring a trim-a-tree department with the area's largest display of decorated and undecorated artificial trees. The flower shop entices customers with a full line of fresh poinsettias and other holiday plants. The store front is transformed in late November with Christmas trees, roping and wreaths.
