"We Wish You a Living Christmas!"

Rent a living tree this Christmas and our elves will deliver a potted Christmas tree to your doorstep. After the holidays, the tree will return to the North Pole where it can continue to grow for future generations!

Our mission "to change the way California celebrates Christmas" began the year I spent my Christmas vacation delivering trees for Bob's Nursery in Manhattan Beach. Gleefully singing Christmas carols in a silly Santa hat, I was amazed at the sheer magic and merriment created by the simple act of bringing a Christmas tree into the house. The tree delivery signaled that Christmas in the home had truly begun.

Contrasting that intense happiness was the sadness I felt in seeing that same tree discarded by the curb in the weeks that followed Christmas. Having worked in nursery since I was 15 years old, I knew there had to be a better way. 

It seems wrong that a tree that symbolized hope, joy and new life could be so easily abandoned. From this, the idea for The Living Christmas Company was born. 

Our Trees are Alive, in a Pot with their Roots, and Growing.  We deliver the tree to you, and then pick it up after the holidays. The tree then goes back to our nursery, where it continues growing until next year.  Some trees are replanted into bigger containers.  Not every tree is suitable for rental year after year.

Those that do not make the cut (no pun intended) are allowed to continuing growing, are donated to a tree planting organization or become part of an Urban Reforestation Project. All our tree will be eventually taken out to pasture (we mean planted) to become big, beautiful trees.
