The garden is decked and full of holly, on this Road Trip: Close to Home to Clark Botanic Garden in Albertson.

This living museum is an intimate oasis where you can learn about plants from all over the world. There's a beautiful variety of plants blossoming year-round.

It's a great time of year to visit their evergreens - there are many unique specimens.

The magnificent Alaskan Weeping Cedar is all dressed up for the holidays and looking extra beautiful.

You can walk the 12 acres during the day, and when the sun goes down the lights go on, and it truly becomes a winter wonderland.

The paved paths are easy to walk, so it's a great place to bring the whole family.

Stroll over charming bridges and through gardens. And there are fun photo ops along the way.

The kids will love this - there's a hedge maze with twists and turns!

There are even three tranquil and picturesque ponds surrounded by scenic views.

Go bird watching, and be captivated by the stillness of winter
