Christmas Tree Rental
Give a tree a home for the holidays
Enjoy a FREE guide with fun, sustainable holiday activities to share with the people you love.
If the standard Christmas tree options do not feel quite right, you’re in good company.
Finally, a new holiday tree tradition is taking root in Atlanta. Instead of cutting down a healthy tree each year only to toss it to the curb shortly after the holidays, why not foster a tree - and Georgia’s future forest?
Welcome to the farm!
Joy to the Earth Trees is a local, native Christmas tree farm in Mansfield, Georgia, 45 minutes east of downtown Atlanta. Each holiday season, you take a living tree home with you to “foster” for the holidays. You host the tree at your home (in a pot). You get to decorate and display it as you wish. After the celebration, it returns to the farm & continues to grow.
Growing memories one holiday at a time
Each winter, you get to create a new family tradition of hosting a tree from the grove (even giving it a name). Once your tree reaches a certain size, we plant the tree in Georgia (it’s forever home). The collective impact of the holiday trees we foster & plant can continue to grow many social, economic, and environmental gifts for future generations.
“ It always felt a bit wasteful, and I did not like the idea of a plastic tree and storing it in my small apartment. For years, we decorated our palm tree with lights and paper snowflakes. But my husband grew up with a real Christmas tree and missed it. This solved all my problems!”
- Kristin 2023 & 2024 Joy to Earth Tree Community Supported Forester

Joy to the Earth Trees invites you to join the grove! “Foster” (rent) a holiday tree from our farm!
You foster this tree in your home for the holiday celebration. You can water your tree and surround it with lights and people you love. The difference is that after the holiday, instead of your tree being tossed to the sidewalk, it returns to the grove, where we care for it & help it continue to grow.
You can choose to “adopt” (plant) your tree for your yard. Or, we work with community partners to plant it in its “forever home” where it can continue to grow with its Georgia Forest Family.
The collective impact of the Christmas trees we foster & plant will continue to offer many social, economic, and environmental benefits for future generations of Georgians.
We believe this is a gift worth giving
A Gift Worth Giving
“I bought an artificial tree last year because I hated the idea of cutting down a tree and then discarding it. But I missed the live tree so this was a lovely solution! We loved it!” -Shannon - 2023 & 2024 CSF
“We loved it. Sustainability is super important to me. It was especially great to involve our 9 year old and talk about why this is important and right for our family.” - Bryanne -2023 & 2024 CSF
