One holiday tree can take several hours to decorate each year but how about more than 30? Come to the Heritage Gardener’s Annual Christmas Home Tour this year November 21-22 and see a home with over 30 trees and all designed and decorated by an award-winning young man who is preparing for a future of design.
The home belongs to Heather and Joe Garza in Lowlands in Friendswood. The design artist is one of their children, Jett, who is a freshman at Friendswood High School. He is also a two consecutive year winner of the tree decorating contest at the Alley Theater and is hoping to make it three consecutive years by competing again.
The 2024 and 2025 winners have been reconstructed in the home for the tour. The other trees are his creations and they are throughout the spacious home. Some of their themes include bears; crystals and white; modern; Santa’s Workshop; Classic in Gold; Red. Green and Black; and family decorations. The theme for the home is Christmas in Garza Village.
Jett plans to major in interior design and architecture but he is not waiting to get experience. He has worked with adults in the field of design and has mentors and role models assisting in his growth. His parents applaud his work and encourage him to create and enjoy design through events like this tour. Jett is one of the Garza’s five children. He has created trees for his siblings also on the tour.
Tourgoers will be delighted to see the many different trees, each special in their completion of a theme all through the eyes of a budding design artist.
This is just one of four beautifully decorated homes on the tour. Tickets will be available online as well as in local businesses. Follow Heritage Gardeners on Facebook to get ticket details. This is a tour of homes to see! It will put you in the holiday mood.
Tours will be held both Saturday and Sunday from 1-5 pm.
Also offered are more holiday favorites. Approximately 50 vendors will be offering treasures that will fit nicely under the tree and will make your shopping completed in just one weekend. The Holiday Vendor Market will be at the clubhouse at 112 W. Spreading Oaks and on adjacent property. Inside the clubhouse will be raffle baskets and Santa’s Bake Shop, just in time for Thanksgiving or snacking while you shop. The club is also offering a special Treasure Chest market with quality resale ‘treasures’ located inside the clubhouse.
The market, bakery, raffles and Treasurer Chest are all open from 9 am to 4 pm both Saturday and Sunday and are free to attend.
