It’s that time of year! Thanksgiving has passed and we are ready to deck the halls. You might think the Lowcountry doesn’t have many options when it comes to cutting your own Christmas tree like the northern states, but we actually have a number of farms around Bluffton that grow their own trees in addition to bringing in the popular Douglas Fir.

So if you’re ready to grab a saw and go choose a tree, you are probably wondering exactly where you should go to buy a Christmas tree. Bluffton, Hilton Head and Beaufort all offer tree farm options! Plus, you know your standard big box options like Lowe’s and The Home Depot have trees, but when you are on the hunt for the can’t-be-replicated smell, feel and ambiance of a real Christmas tree, where should you go? 

Check out where we are shopping and buying Christmas trees in Bluffton and surrounding areas.
