Join us for the 19th Annual Baker West Front Yard Holiday Tree Tradition, and stay for coffee with your neighbors!
Every December, Baker West front yards sparkle with holiday trees. Whether you’re new to the neighborhood or have joined in for years, it’s an easy way to spread some holiday cheer. This year we are again using the Fuller Tree Company, and they supply really nice looking trees!
- Tree only: $32
- Tree with a 6-ft rebar stake: $37
To keep your tree standing all season, stake it with a 6-ft piece of rebar and a few zip ties. Order the rebar with your tree, or pick one up ahead of time at Home Depot.
How to order — by Friday, November 20th
- Text Barbara Gaylord at (408) 316-0345 or email barbara@bakerwest.org.
- Drop off cash or a check at 2058 Colusa Way. Slip it under the doormat.
- Text Barbara to let her know it’s there.
Holiday Driveway Meet and Greet* and Tree Pickup: Sunday, December 6th, 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM at 2058 Colusa Way.
Come pick out your tree, then stay a while! All Baker West neighbors are invited to stop by for complimentary coffee, bagels and donuts, visit with one another, and celebrate the holiday season, whether or not you ordered a tree. It’s a family-friendly morning with holiday music playing quietly in the background. Most neighbors walk over, so bring a wagon if you have one.
*The meet and greet is paid for by a BeautifySJ grant.
Bring a pair of socks, too!
This year we’re also asking each household to donate one new pair of socks for neighbors in need. Donations go to Neighborhood Hands and HomeFirst’s Boccardo Reception Center. Drop off socks at 2058 Colusa Way any time up to December 6th, or bring them when you pick up your tree.
