Adopt A Christmas Tree

Specialties

We certainly aren’t your traditional kind of tree lot :) Our living, potted Christmas trees are housed at a private lot in Carmel Valley this season (2015). Our cheerful, singing elves care about making your life easier by delivering a tree right to your door… but if you want to see, hand-​pick, and collect your tree, just give us a call and we can set up a time to meet you almost any time before sunset. (Living trees must be transported up-​right).

Adopt a Christmas Tree offers the THIRD option in holiday decorating. A wide array of Live Potted tree types and sizes (starting with 5 ft tall) can be Adopted through the Holiday Season. These Christmas Trees contribute to a stronger environment. They will continue to make a dent in our carbon footprint long after we celebrate the holidays since we re-​plant them in San Diego County.

A live Christmas Tree in your home reduces the need for millions of trees to be cut down each year for the sole purpose of seasonal decoration. Every adopted tree arrives via Elves singing special carols and will be picked up on the date of your choice after the holidays. The re-​planted trees find their new home right here in San Diego County. You too can enjoy a GREEN more ECO-​Friendly Holiday season.

History

Established in 2006.

In the name of tradition, many people still chose to desecrate the Earth and chop down a live tree for a mere two weeks of display. They then throw the decomposing tree in the garbage. These trees represent a profound source of organic waste. Using them this way is destructive, wasteful, and highly unfriendly to the environment. Tree farms may produce oxygen. However, they are farmed using industrial practices which demand tremendous amounts of pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers. These methods do not grow healthy trees. After about a week their needles often dry out, making a sad mess before being discarded and taking up limited landfill space. We have been committed to creating win-​win solutions for the past six years. We remain dedicated to: Creating a memorable holiday experiences, supporting local environmental causes, reducing greenhouse gasses globally, and, of course, saving your time & money!
