Huron Ridge Greenhouses is one of the few greenhouse that grows poinsettias, but they grow them starting in July, and offer a wide variety of types!
They have 22 colours of poinsettias that are grown naturally that way alongside hand dyed creations.
Regier says if you have been supporting local schools who have been selling poinsettia’s, chances are you have also been supporting Huron Ridge.

In addition to poinsettias they also have Christmas trees, wreaths made on the farm, greened winter planters a small train, thousands of ornaments available for sale.
This is a free event, open to all ages, no registration or tickets, no purchase necessary.
The Poinsettia Festival ran Wednesday through Saturday each week of the last two weeks in November and will finish up this weekend, on the first weekend in December.
