| - Ever since I was a little girl, picking out the Christmas tree has been one of my most favorite holiday traditions. (My dad has it down to an exact science!) So when I found Whitfills last year, I was so excited to come across a place to buy my tree that made my Christmas tree shopping experience even more special and memorable.
While Whitfills is a full service nursery, I have only purchased Christmas trees there. In fact this is the second year in a row we have gotten our Christmas tree from Whitfill. I don't think we will ever go back to picking them out of a stack in in a parking lot or the back of some busy garden center.
First of all, this locally owned family establishment has much more charm than any retail giant, the workers are always so helpful and friendly, AND they even provide hot cocoa! If you're picky about the type of tree you're looking for they have a good variety to choose from too, Nobel Fir, Douglas Fir, Frasier Fir, Grand Fir, Scotch Pine, you name it! All of the trees are in their own stand and watered daily, not wrapped up and thrown on top of each other. The result of all that special care is a beautiful, fresh Christmas tree that is just beyond comparison. True, they do run a little more than you would pay at Home Depot or Lowes, but it's an extra $10 well spent.
P.S. This place is just minutes from the Farm at South Mountain, which is also bomb. So while you're in the neighborhood, you might as well make an event out of picking up your Whitfill tree and head over to the awesome cafe at the farm afterward!
