Where to buy Christmas trees

At the risk of being more divisive than a marmite wrapped Brexit vote, I’m going there!

Does anyone know when Christmas trees will come into stock at the garden centre or the spot next to the station?

I’m usually an early December decorator but who knows in 2020!

I’m not sure about the other place, but @Shannonsgc are apparently expecting their first delivery of 1,000 trees sometime next week (w/c 16th), if that helps :christmas_tree: :christmas_tree: :christmas_tree:

Thank you!! This is great news!

Looks like the potted Christmas trees are already in, though it sounds like you need a bit of outside space to keep them ideal until you are ready for Christmas (assuming you aren’t ready for it already!):

The spot next to the station is opening this weekend with plenty of trees coming. Free local delivery and wrapping as usual.

Altogether now kids! Trees are in at @Shannonsgc

O Christmas tree,
O Christmas tree
Your leaves are so unchanging
O Christmas tree,
O Christmas tree
Your leaves are so unchanging

Not only green when
Summer’s here
But also when it’s cold and drear
O Christmas tree,
O Christmas tree
Your leaves are so unchanging

O Christmas tree,
O Christmas tree
Much pleasure you do give me
O Christmas tree,
O Christmas tree
Much pleasure you do give me

How often has the Christmas tree
Given me the greatest glee
O Christmas tree,
O Christmas tree
Much pleasure you do give me

From top to bottom
You’re so bright
There’s only splendor for the sight
O Christmas tree,
O Christmas tree
Your lights are shining brightly

O Christmas tree,
O Christmas tree
Your lights are shining brightly

On first glance, I thought this was a poll. Would have voted for ‘Christmas tree,’

No doubt you will be fly posting all over Forest Hill as per usual, Lewisham council seem to let you do it with impunity.

You’re digging out the wrong person here.

Popped in @Shannonsgc earlier to pick up a birthday present. Lots of beautiful Xmas trees filling the aisles outside.
One of the ladies working outside commented that her feet were lovely & warm to her colleague. I asked her, her secret, we all laughed when she said rubber shoes😉.
Friendly service & a giggle :+1:

They have a hypnotic video of the Christmas trees on their Twitter too - watching this, is it just me or can anyone else actually can smell them while watching this?!

The fly posters have gone up, so the place next to the station must also be open. I spotted this down at the Stondon Park junction:

For anyone considering a visit to @Shannonsgc, note the Stansted Road entrance is closed so head round to Malham Road instead (enter via the carpark which is open):

Just seen a similar poster on thr railings outside Sainsbury’s!

This has been one of the most enjoyable aspects of coming to London. You don’t see this in anywhere near as much regularity on the south coast. Everyone I know in Chichester and surrounding areas has a fake tree that they dig out of the loft every year. I don’t care how much mess they make I’ll never, ever have a fake tree again as long as I live. I just love how much nicer my one bedroom rabbit hutch smells this time of year.

Will the council manage to remove this illegal fly posting and prosecute the perpetrators this year,it has been going on for at least the last 20 years maybe it’s time for a FOI request to Lewisham council ?
Would any Forest Hill councillors like to comment ?

Another place to buy Christmas trees is at St David Coffee House:

(And they are also still selling Square Mile coffee if that’s your thing)

And I spotted one next to the Tesco petrol station lights on Honor Oak Road.

This is like an Easter egg hunt…

I don’t get in their cabs, buy their trees and i ignore their signs.

Just like Lewisham council !!

I found one Perry Rise Baptist Church (in Perry Village), and one on the corner of Perry Hill and Houston Road.

Kudos to whoever finds the one furthest from it’s source.
