It’s time to buy your Christmas Tree!

Salmonberry School's Christmas Tree sale keeps the island green in several ways!

By Amy Lum

The Christmas Season is here!  What better way to sparkle up your home than with a beautiful Christmas tree? Salmonberry School’s Annual Christmas Tree Sale is happening again this year.

There are several species to choose from, including Noble, Grand, Frasier and Douglas firs. We have many sizes, from table tops to towers. The trees are harvested from small family farms located in the Skagit Valley and Snohomish. We also have Orcas grown “wild crafted” and live trees for sale.

We strive to find healthy, sustainably harvested trees. They are hand selected and freshly cut to ensure that needles stay on your tree right through the season, and they smell wonderful!

For the past two years, the students have planted a tree for every tree that was sold, working in collaboration with the Land Bank. Once again we are committed to planting a new tree for every tree sold, and are expecting to accomplish that this spring here on Orcas Island.

When you buy a tree from us, you will be supporting the programs and the students of Salmonberry School. Founded in 2001, Salmonberry School offers a holistic learning experience that nurtures the intellectual and imaginative capabilities of each child. We provide an academically and experientially rich environment in which confidence, compassion, and responsibility are strengthened through cooperative community learning.

Trees are available for purchase at the school. Look for the trees and the toasty wood stove at the corner of Henry Lane and North Beach Road. Hours are 3-5:30pm Fridays, 10am- 4pm Saturdays and 11am to 3pm Sundays, or by appointment. If you would like more information, please stop by and take a look, or call Amy and Eric Lum at376-4454.

We look forward to seeing you!
