When you visit our tree farm in Boulder, you enter an eccentric and curious environment. We are both artists, and have created many sculptures and garden environments for you to explore while you pick out your tree.

Since 2007, Your Neighborhood Christmas Tree Farm has given away 300-900+ small seedling trees each summer. After viewing “An Inconvenient Truth”, Al Gore's moving film about global warming , we decided we had to do something to help combat climate change. Growing trees to give away seemed like something we could do to help the planet. We usually give the trees away over the first weekend in June. We usually have 1 – 3 foot tall hackberries, ginnala maples, locusts, chokecherries and catalpas. Sometimes we also have Russian hawthornes, golden rain trees, golden currants, horse chestnuts, Kentucky coffee trees, the agressive north Boulder rose, and more.
