Meridian Optimist Christmas Tree Lot

Alicia Anderson

My son and I randomly decided to get a real tree this year because what the heck, it's 2020 and we needed something to spruce up the holiday. I googled real Christmas trees, this place came up and happened to be on the way home from work. What a great experience! My son got pictures with Santa and the Grinch, the staff were friendly, knowledgeable, extremely helpful and went out of their way to make sure we left happy. Their prices are great and my son sure appreciated the girl passing out candy canes; she was adorable! Since it was a last minute stop, I didn't have any rope and was worried about getting it home with my tiny Honda, but that was no issue. They had plenty of twine and even tied my tree on the roof like pros. I was grateful that they made it easy to unload when we got home. So glad we stopped here and so glad our money goes to good causes that benefit our community! Thanks so much to all the staff who helped us and made our visit awesome! You guys do good work, Merry Christmas!

This was my first time buying a real tree as an adult. I stopped by other vendors to see prices, I was surprised to see that the optimist lot had a very nice selection (went on 11/28) and they were cheaper than the other vendor. I was willing to pay a little extra at this lot because it supports a great cause, but did not need to. They were pretty busy but were willing to answer questions and work to fix the slight lean in the tree I wanted. The prices were listed on the card and all the trees were tagged and color coded so I need what to look for. Once I picked the tree the check out process was so easy. They do take cards and by the time we paid the tree was on our car being tied down. We brought our own straps but they used twine they had. We had an errand to run after getting the tree before heading home and the tree held perfectly. Once we got it home we shook it a little to get some of the old pine needles off, the tree was still perfect and full. I will be returning each year and am VERY pleased with how easy it was to get a tree. If you bring in canned food they will take $5 off of your tree!

Great place to get a tree and the proceeds go to great causes in the community. Plus, you can donate two cans of food and get $5 off and help those in need at the same time. Couldn't ask for a better place to get a tree during the season of giving...
