Salmonberry tree sale

Are you looking for a beautiful Christmas tree to brighten up your home for the holiday season? Come to Salmonberry School’s Fifth Annual Christmas Tree Sale. Starting on Thanksgiving weekend, look for the trees and the toasty wood stove at the corner of Henry Lane and North Beach Road.  There will be several species to choose from, including Noble, Grand, Douglas and Frasier firs, in sizes from table tops to towers. Most of the trees are harvested from small family farms located in Skagit Valley and Snohomish. The Lum Farm on Orcas will also be offering live and u-cut trees from their Christmas tree farm.  As a part of this fundraiser, Salmonberry students make a pledge to replant at least one tree for every tree we sell.

Christmas Trees will be available for purchase at Salmonberry School, 867 North Beach Road., starting Saturday, Nov. 28. Hours will be 3 to 5 p.m. on Fridays and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays, or by appointment. For more info, call 376-4454.
