Think Green! Help Us to Plant for the Planet!If you are thinking about a fresh Balsam Fir Christmas Tree, roping and wreaths Skillin’s Greenhouses in Brunswick, Cumberland and Falmouth has the aesthetic Maine Holiday tradition for you. Our Skillin’s and Maine grown Christmas Greens will make your decorating even more merry because they are more than decorations. Our Holiday Greens help sustain Maine agriculture, a tradition here at Skillin’s since 1885.
Buying local grown products also help in reducing the use of fuel. Because these products are grown closer to you they have less distance to travel to get to you. Supporting locally grown products reduces our carbon footprint, creates local agricultural jobs, sustains local farms; so with your support you are helping to preserve open space and wildlife habitats. Maine grown products are also “fresher” and will create lasting family memories with your children.
Before setting your Christmas Tree up always make a fresh 1” or more cut on the butt end of the tree. This will enable your tree to pick up water from the tree stand during its stay indoors. Always routinely check your tree at least once a day and in warm homes more often is recommended. Add water as needed and never allow your tree to dry out. Once a tree dries out it may not be able to pick up water again without another fresh cut. Keep your tree away from any heat source and never forget the cookies for Santa.
Remember to recycle your trees after the Holidays because they have stored valuable nutrients in their foliage and wood. You can always bring your tree back to us at Skillin’s or call us to arrange for a pickup and we will recycle the tree for you at our Mt. View Tree Farm so your tree will help to create the life of a new tree!
