SUMMARY: As Thanksgiving approaches, a Wisconsin man named Brian travels to Ocean Springs each year to sell Christmas trees at Redmond’s Nursery. Having started this tradition 45 years ago, Brian continues to bring unique trees that thrive outside Mississippi, as local conditions favor only pines and junipers. Families, like one that has been visiting for over 30 years, come to choose their perfect tree together. Brian enjoys the camaraderie and sense of community at the nursery, considering his time on the tree lot part of his Christmas celebration. Redmond Farms will remain until they sell out.
