Smart Trees Christmas Trees

Cotswold Journal:

At Smart Trees we have been growing trees onsite since 1994. Throughout the year we take special care in the maintenance and treatment of the trees. We cut our trees every couple of days to keep them fresh for our customers.

Each tree is cut, drilled for display and netted to be protected until ready for a display stand. We keep a very large stock of trees on display stands to allow you the best visual experience when searching for your tree. Once you have chosen, one of our friendly staff will net the tree and carry it to your car for you.

Enter our indoor forest and you enter a magical land, where you can meander through the trees catching falling snow and bubbles along the way. Stop to see our Nativity, stroke our Reindeer who will be waiting to meet all the visitors and then receive a magic coin. Next you will find the Magical Wishing Well where you can throw in your coin and make a wish before going on to meet the Elves and enter the Grotto.

Here you’ll find Santa sat next to his fire cheeks all aglow waiting to meet all the children, a gift for all.
