Now that the Thanksgiving festivities are over, you’ll be itching to buy that most precious of indoor plants, a Christmas tree. And there are several places to pick one up around town. Here is our list of five stellar Christmas tree lots in the neighborhood where you might just find that special evergreen.
1. Hayes Farms
Hayes Farms will be selling Christmas trees in nearby Parkland at 5980 N. University Dr. Although the company is less than 10 years old, it’s already earned a local reputation for offering some of the best Fraser firs around and at reasonable prices. The trees all hail from the Appalachian High Country, specifically Tennessee and North Carolina, and each is inspected before being sent to South Florida.
The lot is open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday to Sunday. If you have any questions, you can call a store representative at 954/275-8895.
Lot highlight: This year Hayes Farms is partnering with Trees for Troops, which provides free, farm-grown Christmas trees to armed forces members—in all branches of the military—and their families.
