🌲 Cut your own

Barker’s Christmas Tree Farm, 1500 Deerhaven Ln. | While reservations are currently full for November, check back often for potential openings. If you score a spot, you can choose from White Pines, Canaan Firs, and Balled + Burlap Norway Spruces. Pro tip: Cash or check only.

Nieman’s Christmas Tree Farm, 5100 Sulphur Ln. | Fill your home with the scent of fresh pine from one of Kentucky’s only grower of Frasier firs in the state. Trees on this family owned farm range from six to 12+ft and White Pine, White Fir, and Blue Spruce are also available. Cut your own with tools provided or simply select and let the friendly staff do the heavy lifting...literally. Pro tip: Cash or check only.

🌲 Pre-cut + ready to get lit

Hillenmeyer Christmas Shop, 120 Sycamore Rd. | This 70+ year family tradition has moved to Ashland, the Henry Clay Estate this year, blending two holiday classics together. While Santa won’t be in attendance this year, rest assured the original sleigh, boxwood + bow collection, and manger animals (only on the weekend) will be on hand to make spirits bright.

King’s Garden Center, 4560 Nicholasville Rd. | The greenhouse turns into a winter wonderland with freshly cut Christmas tree varieties including Fraser, Grand, and Concolor firs. Wow your guests with other live festive greenery + decor like wreaths, centerpieces, and garland.

🌲 Local recommendations

  • Reader Heather R. said that although Tractor Supply is not flashy, the prices are fair + you can exchange it if it’s not up to par.
  • Sarah B. and Lauren A. both recommend checking out the parking lot by Southland Christian Church on Richmond Road.
  • Although we haven’t seen details online yet, Meredith W. loves Wilson’s Nursery.
