Any ideas on where to find a live Christmas tree in the Bay Area??
I found this awesome 'Adopt a Christmas Tree' service that delivers a tree AND picks it up to plant it somewhere when Christmas is through (they even come dressed as elves!). Sadly this is only in the San Diego area. I found another version in the LA area, but nothing up here the Bay Area yet.
I've been using a cheap-o, made in China, fake tree, and probably will continue to do so just out of sheer guilt of what happens when the time comes to get rid of it (landfill). Lately I've been thinking about ways to have a live tree because I've been inspired on my hikes form inhaling the most fragrant, delicious, refreshing air.
Creatively speaking, what about alternative ways of decorating with ornaments?
It's so difficult to be eco-conscious and creative sometimes. In some ways you never win on the eco because everything has an impact especially in the art materials section. But seriously, if we are supposed to make strides toward it, we have to use our creativity to find solutions.
Perhaps the answer is to use what I have and keep pondering.
If you have some links to share, brilliant ideas, or just some thoughts on the matter, I'd love to hear them!
Hope autumn is being kind to you!

I have been thinking about getting a living tree this year too and planting it in the backyard before we move. I know you can find small ones and a lot of lawn and garden centers this time of years, but they are usually pretty small and definitely not cheap.
ReplyDeleteAs far as ornaments go, I like decorating with chocolate ornaments so you can eat them during/after the holidays.
