A Calgary garden centre gave away free Christmas trees to Calgarians who couldn’t afford one this holiday season.
Spruce It Up Garden Centre in south Calgary was giving the trees away on Christmas Eve, saying they felt that, as a small business that relies on Calgarians, it was important to give back in their own special way.
“We love to share with the communities,” Spruce It Up assistant manager Jessica Smith said.
“We love to work with schools, and churches, and community centres, and just make sure that everybody has the chance to have a beautiful surrounding and a beautiful Christmas.”
Smith said it was a rewarding experience to hand out the trees.
Christmas trees at Spruce It Up typically cost between 30 to $180.
