Be an angel This Christmas in Franklin, NC
Our tree holds 21 ornaments this year, and once an ornament leaves the branch, it’s gone.
Each ornament stands for a real neighbor here in Macon County who’s weathering a hard year: a child, a senior, a veteran, or an adult with special needs.
Be someone’s angel.
Pick a tag, fill a wish list, and hand someone a Christmas morning worth remembering.
How Our Angel Tree Works
1
Pick Your Person
Claim a person to give gifts to online on this page, or stop by our Retail Garden Center at 57 Saunders Road and choose a tag from the tree in person. Shopping solo, with your family, or with your office or Sunday school class? Pick one person, or several.

We’ll Call You
When you choose your giftee online, someone from our team will phone you to confirm. Please wait for that call before you shop. It keeps every giftee covered and makes sure no one gets doubled up or left out

Shop & Drop-Off
Bring your wrapped gifts to the Retail Garden Center by Wednesday, Dec. 16 at 5pm.
Tuck the person’s tag or recipient info in with your gifts so each one lands in the right hands.
Five Years, 140+ Neighbors,
One Big-Hearted Community
This is our fifth holiday season hosting the Winding Stair Gardens Angel Tree.
Over those five years, more than 140 local folks have unwrapped gifts thanks to someone who reached for a tag and said, “I’ve got this one.”
That adds up to a whole lot of happy holidays across our mountain community, and we’d love for you to be part of year five.
No Names, No Addresses
Every ornament carries a set of initials along with age, gender, clothing sizes, and a short holiday wish list. No names, no addresses, nothing that identifies the person.
You get the details you need to shop with heart, and they retain their privacy.
