What is the Florence Christmas Tree Search?

Every December the Florence Beautification Board raises and lights a Christmas tree in the median strip on North Court Street, just south of theĀ University of North Alabama.

It is a tradition begun in 2018 by Linda VanSandt, a former member of the board. The first year Linda selected a cedar tree on the Shell Christmas Tree Farmland, and in the years that followed the Christmas trees were donated generously by people in the community.

At the end of the 2023 holiday season the board met to see if there was a better, long-term solution for finding these trees, and someone suggested they get in touch with us, Growing Assets. After all, who would know more about trees, and finding a tree, than a forestry-consulting business with roots in north Alabama dating back to the early 1950s? We were happy to accept the challenge, and so our search for a Christmas Tree for the City of Florence was born.

Do you think you might have that special tree?Ā  If so, let us know by posting a comment with a photo, sending us an email or just give us a call, and help Florence glow a little brighter at Christmastime.
