We offer Holiday Pre-Orders to help make your festive season more manageable but just as homemade. Hop online to order goodies or shop in-store to place your dinner and dessert orders.
Whether searching for the perfect Christmas tree to take to your cabin retreat or just strolling through the gorgeous evergreens with red bows and lights and your camera, the Wardnesville Garden Market’s outdoor winter wonderland is the perfect place! We even have special hand-decorated wreaths made by our youth employees known as Junior Crew. While on your stroll, add a cup of freshly made Hot Cocoa or our new Eggnog Cold Brew for a bit of sweetness.
In case you haven’t heard, Wardensville is also home to the new Glass Blowing studio Dakota Glass! Inspired by the rich history of glass blowing in Appalachia, this amazing hot shop works with Junior Crew, passing on the craft while creating beautiful pieces of glass. Stop by during their weekend demo hours Saturday and Sunday, 10am to 3pm to watch the magic live. Shop for Dakota Glass handcrafted Christmas Ornaments at the Wardensville Garden Market. These make wonderful heirloom gifts or perfect additions to your own tree!

While you’re in Wardensville, the Lost River Trading Post is another great stop in this quaint little town. This shop contains artisanal items from wines, art, cards, antiques, fresh coffee, and more!
