Heading out to pick that special Christmas tree to illuminate your home during the Holiday season is an absolutely wonderful activity! We’re offering you a list of places to help you find your way around all the options to choose from in the Townships.
Plantations Stéphan Perreault will welcome you from November 24th on Thursdays to Sundays from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. to come and choose your favourite tree (Balsam or Fraser). Along with their Christmas stand and the owners’ friendly welcome, this Val-Joli plantation, established inside a magnificent setting, is the ideal family destination. Hot chocolates, pastries and campfires await you during your visit!

From November 30th, Ferme Horti-Plus welcomes you every Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. to pick your own Christmas tree. You can cut your tree yourself in the traditional way, either with a manual saw, or count on a pro to do it for you. In addition, you can transport the children aboard sleds to facilitate your travel and make it even more fun!

From December 1st, on Saturdays and Sundays between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., come pick your Christmas tree at Sapinière Downey. Comfortably seated on a bale of hay you’ll be taken to the field where you’ll choose and cut down your very own tree. When you return, make a stop at the boutique where you'll find beautiful Christmas wreath.

Here, you can select your Christmas tree as early as autumn. Your tree will be tagged and cut at your desired time! Trees are available in limited quantities, so it's important to call to reserve your visit. You’ll have a choice of three species: Balsam, Fraser, and Cook, ensuring there’s something for everyone! Plus, there’s a Christmas shop with ornaments, gift ideas, and greenery wreaths!

Did you know? The life span of a Christmas tree, once it’s cut, covers about four weeks if it is watered regularly, and kept in a not too warm, not too cold, not too humid room.
Artificial trees have four times more of a carbon footprint than natural trees. And most of them are made with PVC, an oil-based product which takes 200 years to break down. An artificial tree can be an eco-friendly solution only if it is kept for more than 20 years. However, people get rid of them on average after 6 years of use. Natural trees are therefore the best ecological choice; plus, they’re biodegradable and often have a second life use when they are gathered after the Holidays to be recycled (compost, mulch, animal food, etc.).
