We decided to go tree hunting here based on previous reviews, and I don't know that we will be…read moregoing back. The trees were all $60 (smart money says they will be $65 next year since they seem to be climbing pretty consistently), and the pickings were already pretty slim by 12/04 - we found a nice looking tree, but the vast majority looked a little bit eaten. On the way out, I overheard one of the employees cautioning a customer that they were starting to run out of nice trees, so maybe I would have felt differently had I gone a week earlier. My main objection was the noise level. The roving army of tractors that bring the trees to the area where they are bundled and loaded up onto your car kind of give the place a distracting, dystopian/militaristic tree compound feel that just didn't lead to that happy seasonal feel that the Mr and I left with when we went to a smaller farm in Connecticut last year. I personally would chose the inconvenience of having to carry a tree to my car over that unsettling racket any day. Still, the people were very nice and the area is beautiful...so it's not all bad.

We love it - it's a great way to usher in the Christmas season every year. The trees at Ingraham are all $55 regardless of size and they have a great selection. (There are some other farms around that charge more and have much less to choose from.) The farm is family owned and the staff is super helpful. It's really fun to walk around and look at all the trees, then choose the perfect one and cut it down.

There were some trees in their market, especially one particularly cool looking Heat Miser, but inquiring got me through the double doors by their refrigerated case to the greenhouse type structure out back where a multitude of trees and wreathes sat to be admired and won.

After my visit, I took another shopping eye look through the market and left with a box of 4 fat muffins and a chilled soup - butternut squash and apple - yum!

I was looking for a Christmas tree farm where we could chop down our own tree that was relatively…read moreclose to Boston that opened before Thanksgiving and stumbled upon CJ Donovan & Sons. The place was easy to find and a little under an hour outside of Boston. The selection of Christmas trees is great! The plots of them just keep on going--made decision making very rough. They have probably almost 10 different varieties of trees. All trees cost $60, regardless of size or type. Additionally, the owner was extremely nice and offered help cutting down the trees and helping to move them with his truck if they're too big to drag back. He even gives you a business card with his cell phone on it so you don't have to go find him in case you need that help! He was also super knowledgable about his varieties and helped me narrow down my search (I was looking for a super fragrant tree).

Hands down my favorite plant nursery I have ever been to! Mr. and Mrs. King (along with their dog…read moreDjango) and a bunch of helpers run a place that is better described as an experience than a "store". All of the plants are outside on the Kings vast land. The King's are like a living history of the Merrimack valley region - Mr. King can tell you stories about these towns when they were still all farm lands. There are frogs, turtles, toads, and other amazing animals close at hand while you're looking at a gorgeous selection of some of the nicest plants you've ever seen. The variety is incredible, and the quality is unsurpassed. No artificial fertilizers are used and Mr. King swears this is why deer don't bother his plants. He knows everything about every type of plant he sells and can answer whatever question you've got. I can't stress enough just how nice it is to be out there though - the drive over a tiny bridge, the "turtle crossing" signs, the acres of amazing plants to explore - and most importantly, the Kings themselves - 2 of the nicest, happiest, and most interesting people you could meet! Absolutely worth checking this place out.

I was very pleasantly surprised to see their huge selection of perennials had been laid out alphabetically this year!!!!! No more aimless wandering looking for astilbe in the middle of the hellebores or sedum. The prices are a bit higher than other local shops or big box home improvement stores. However, aside from two of the mini plants I bought from the clearance section that died, I have never been disappointed in the quality of things I've purchased there. Shopping at Weston Nurseries is a wonderful experience!
