The Enchanted Forest


Blue Smurf Tree, Gingerbread Tree, Rudolf Tree and Dazzling Pink Tree.

These were just some of the festive evergreens in the Enchanted Forest.
Creative trees in every color were auctioned off 
to raise money for Marillac, a children's mental health program.  

Mr. Garden and I had oohed and ahhed over the trees for several years
and we believe that all children deserve a chance to grow up healthy,
so we decided to make a bid.
Imagine our excitement when we found out that we had won!


We were very happy to bring this little tree home with us!
It fits right in with all the gingerbread in our kitchen.
