FORT WORTH, TX — Oct. 19, 2011 – Cornelius Nursery locations in Houston, Texas have transformed their interior gift shops into a winter wonderland featuring themed trees, delicate ornaments and a plethora of holiday gifts.

Gardening author, Cherie Colburn, and Houston Chronicle Lifestyle editor, Molly Glentzer, will be at both locations selling signed copies of their respective books.
