Poppy is Heading Back to the Garden For a Fifth Year of Elf in the Garden

We’re one week away from the Garden’s favorite holiday tradition! Poppy has begun their journey from the North Pole and will be returning to the Garden for a fifth year! Starting Thursday, November 28, you’ll find Poppy “hiding” in different areas of the Garden, moving locations every Thursday morning until Christmas Eve.

Each week we’ll provide a clue on our social channels that hints at Poppy’s latest location within our 87 acres, so be sure to follow us on Instagram if you don’t already. Please note that Poppy is really busy enjoying Astra Lumina during the evenings, so this is a daytime-only activity.

This year, we are excited to offer a prize of $150 to one lucky winner who visits Poppy each week! Take a picture with Poppy at each location and post it on Instagram, tagging @scbgarden and using the #ElfintheGarden hashtag, to be entered to win. We know everyone can use a little extra cash during the holidays, so we hope this will help!
