Need a Christmas Tree?

They're back. The red bows. The poinsettias. The white frosted or multi-colored string lights. The giant inflatable Santa perched on the front lawn. Christmas decorations are back, which obviously means it's time to get your tree.

Haven't even thought about it? No need to panic (yet). We Patch folk have put together a list for those in the South County area. From tree farms to nurseries, we've put together a local brew of places right in South County offering great selections on trees.
