NOTE: This post was updated November 2020 to reflect the latest information for the 2020 season. Due to COVID-19, be sure to practice social distancing and wear a mask during your visit, and check each website or call ahead for current details.
If your holiday traditions don’t include trekking into the woods to cut down your own Christmas tree, you can still get a freshly cut tree right here in town while supporting local, family-run businesses. It’s a win-win situation.
The lots, garden centers and farms on this guide offer unique experiences, family charm, holiday accessories, locally-grown poinsettias and events alongside impressive lineups of trees in different types, shapes and sizes.
And when the holidays are over, be sure to look into Christmas Tree Recycling courtesy of the City of Fort Collins.
