Tree Planting

We're creating educational videos here at Evergreeen Farms that show how the trees grow on the farm. Here is a look at the first video - planting the tree seedlings.

Dogs Have Fun Too!

Now that we're two weekends down for the 2008 season we just want to say a big giant THANK YOU to our amazing customers. We've had so much fun with those of you that have made it out to the farm so far.

But it's not just people that have fun out at the farm - the dogs have fun too! That's right - dogs are welcome at Evergreen Farms (as long as they're on a leash).

Here is a dog that came out this year and could careless about the trees - he was all about the teatherball!!!

Don't forget to pick up your World Market coupon when you purchase your tree this year. And if you're on Santa's "good" list...we might give you two coupons!

Ronald McDonald Love

This isn't Christmas tree related but we love supporting the Ronald McDonald House and we love cake - so how can we not talk about it? Click here to read the great article that was in the Statesman last week.

P.S. - For the second year in a row, we will be donating some Christmas trees for the Austin Ronald McDonald House to enjoy this holiday season. Look for more info about that coming up.

Texas Capitol Ornament

The state Capitol recently released the 2008 Capitol Ornament. This year's ornament replicates the central rotunda's terrazzo floor design with the six seals of the countries whose flags have flown over Texas. The rotunda's terrazzo flooring was installed throughout the first level of the Capitol in 1936, in celebration of the 1936 Texas Centennial.

Our gift shop will have this year's ornament on sale for $18 (same price as the Capitol gift shop). Proceeds from sales fund educational programs and preservation efforts of the Texas Capitol. Our gift shop also has several ornaments from previous years if you're missing one as part of your collection.
