The Adair Co. Garden Club decorates Green Christmas tree Christmas is for the birds...too By Barbara Armitage, President, Adair Co. Garden Club The locally grown cedar tree was cut and delivered by Ron Heath with the Chamber of Commerce with the help of Roger Coffey from the City of Columbia making it truly the "greenest" tree available. Decorations were provided by the Adair County Garden Club. This year's tree is truly for the birds. Decorated with garlands of popcorn and cranberries and ornaments of homemade suet and birdseed this tree is a Christmas buffet for our fine feathered friends. Be sure to be there for the lighting of the Christmas tree at 5:00 on Saturday during the Christmas in Columbia celebrations. The ACGC encourages everyone to consider choosing a tree this year that will help bring joy to both our families, friends and to our earth. So what is better an artificial Christmas tree that you can use over and over or a fresh cut tree? Actually the "greenest" tree is a live tree that you can plant. It's like a gift to the earth that will keep our soil, air and even the animals and the birds healthy for generations to come. An artificial tree does reduce the number of trees grown and cut each year however most artificial trees are made from petroleum products that will end up in landfills where they will remain forever. Although a live cut tree can be mulched and returned to the soil it isn't always the best choice either. Most cut trees are grown in the north west and trucked to destinations all over the country. So what's a Christmas decorator to do? How do you celebrate the holidays and still reduce your footprint on the environment? The best choice is a live tree that was grown locally that you can plant after the holidays. If that's not possible then a locally grown cut tree is the next best choice.
