Alleluia! Burpee Introduces Series of Artisanal Christmas Tree Ornaments Hand-Painted in Poland

In step with the trend towards more traditional Christmas and holiday decorations, the nation’s leading home gardening company, W. Atlee Burpee & Co., is offering a strikingly pretty new series of vegetable tree ornaments crafted of glass and hand-painted in Poland.

The festive, shimmery, and colorful artisanal ornaments range in size from 2 to 5 inches and are invitingly priced from $8.95-$14.95, plus shipping. Sold individually, the 14-piece collection includes an Eggplant, Artichoke, White and Red Onions, Mushroom, Broccoli and Bell Peppers in three different colors. The only flower ornament being offered is a glowing 2 ¾” Sunflower, charmingly fashioned from lacquered and glittery glass with glossy green leaves.

The ornaments make a perfect holiday gift for your favorite gardener, chef or vegetable-fancier, or lover of one-of-a-kind festively decorative items. Vegetables come with happy, traditional and folkloric associations. The 5-inch long, bright orange Carrot ornament, for instance, holds a special significance for the bride-to-be or newlywed. Carrots, according to German legend, symbolize good luck for the new bride. A superb gift item for the blushing bride!

You are invited to view or order the Ornament Collection at Burpee.com website, or order by calling Burpee Customer Service at 1-800-888-1447.
