Grand Court Holiday Display at Cherry Creek Shopping Center

Santa's chair in the Grand Court

Time to visit Santa!

Today we are featuring the display that is currently in place at the Cherry Creek Shopping Center (CCSC) in the Grand Court. Denver Botanic Gardens’ horticulturist Blake Burger designs and installs these displays, and provides daily care to all of the beautiful plantings.

This year the CCSC Grand Court has a North Pole theme, complete with Santa and an ice castle. Blake says, “Instead of using red poinsettias, I wanted to change up the color a bit to match the blue and white palate of the holiday display. This display will be set up until the day after Christmas.”
