Hours: 10:00am-7:00pm Monday-Friday; 10:00am-6:00pm Saturday-Sunday
If you want that perfect tree without the hassle, check out Kelli Jo Hjalseth and Krista Osborne’s top pick, GardenSphere! “GardenSphere has been our go-to for freshly cut trees of all shapes and sizes,” shares Krista. “They are so sweet, remember my Mom's name every year and deliver to her house often the same day and even set it up in the stand for her getting it 'just right.'”
Even first-timer Kelli had only positive things to say: “We’ve cut our own trees every year for 30+ years but last year we did something different and fantastic! I walked to GardenSphere in the Proctor area, pointed to a tree freshly cut that day, and the next day it appeared at my house! Travis and his crew are wonderful. They gave the tree a fresh cut and popped it in the stand in my living room. It took all of 5 minutes and I had that freshly cut tree fragrance wafting through my home. I will do it again this year!”
In addition to the top-notch service GardenSphere provides, they also have “a giant kitty cat that lays on the counter or walks around and greets you to add cheer to an already wonderful place and season,” according to Krista.
