Charleston Living Magazine Nov-Dec 2021

“My dad’s rule of thumb was always that
we wanted to plant two trees for every one that
was cut, but we have bumped that up even more
because we have been busier,” Julianna said. “
We plant trees next to every stump we see.”
True to their love for the Lebanon
community, the tree farm donates a tree to
the Lebanon Community Center and offers
prices as low as possible, based on the height
of the tree per foot, which on the tree farm
can reach an impressive 40 feet tall. Garland,
wreaths and tabletop trees also available.
“My dad and I always thought that everyone
should have a Christmas tree and every child
should be able to have fun and participate,”
Julianna said. They offer active duty military
discounts and don’t charge admission to enjoy
the tree farm or meet Santa. Activities have
nominal fees.
“We have thousands of people that come
in each year and it’s unbelievable how when my
dad and I revamped the business, I was sitting
on the back of his pickup truck and we were
praying, ‘God, please let us have just have one
customer today,’” Julianna recalls. “It’s unbelievable.
We are so blessed with the support of
the community and we feel so much love.” •
