Between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. Dec. 2, head out to the Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ Arboretum’<\/a>s nature pavilion\u00a0 and get into the holiday spirit with this one-of-a-kind experience that includes cutting down your own Christmas tree.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Arboretum staff will take participants out to search for a tree native to the Florida habitat, the Pinus Clausa, or the Florida spruce pine. While you are out choosing your tree, you will also learn about Florida\u2019s ecosystems.<\/p>\n

If the tree you choose is small enough, you can cut it down with a handsaw the Arboretum staff will provide for you. Otherwise, the staff will help cut the tree down with a chainsaw. The trees will be returned to the Arboretum’s nature pavilion, where there will be cookies and hot chocolate before you load the tree on your car to take home.<\/p>\n

The cost varies on the height of the tree, from $10 to $20.<\/p>\n
