Hi All.
When I last lived in Davis (2002-2004) I would get my Christmas Trees at the sale that took place at the corner of Cameron and Mass Ave, which is now condominiums (or something). Does anyone have any recommendations for local tree purchasing? We have a car, but would love to support a local group doing fundraising. I did a few searches on the group and didn't see anything, so I am hoping this will be useful to others as well!
Thanks :)

I saw signs dropped off at the place where the bike path connects on Cameron for a Boy Scout tree sale, so perhaps your previous place is still going to be close by?

Your post made me all nostalgic; I used to live on Madison Ave in Cambridge and I'd walk that bikepath into Davis all the time. I knew exactly what and where you were talking about. And I remember when they started building on that lot. Good times, good times. *grateful sniffle for your post*

As for finding Xmas trees in Camberville these days, I've no idea. But I do hope that you are successful. ::hug::

Somerville public school students sell trees at the corner of McGrath and Broadway, on the border of East Somerville. That would be a drive for you but they have decent prices and it's a local cause.

1. I think they fence off some of the grassy area where the bike path meets Cameron and sell the trees there.

2. The Somerville Schools trees at Foss Park go on sale Dec 3

3. We couldn't wait and bought a tree at Ricky's flower market in Union Square. He has a wide selection of sizes as well as types of trees.

Ok, so I'm stretching with this tag, but maybe Pemberton's?
