Mahoney’s Featured on GBH: The Life of a Christmas Tree

GBH News recently featured Mahoney’s Garden Centers in a video titled Life, Death, and Rebirth of Your Christmas Tree, which explores the lifecycle of a Christmas tree in the Greater Boston area.

Produced by GBH News’ Curiosity Desk—a YouTube series hosted by reporter Edgar B. Herwick III—the piece dives into the questions people are curious about across Massachusetts, from local history to everyday traditions. This episode explores what happens to a Christmas tree before and after it reaches your home, offering a thoughtful look at a beloved holiday tradition. We were honored to be part of a story that highlights both the practical and emotional sides of the season.

Filmed at Our Winchester and Brighton Locations

The GBH News team filmed the segment at both our Winchester flagship, Mahoney’s Rocky Ledge, and our Brighton location, where Edgar visited to learn more about Christmas tree season and what it takes to bring fresh, farm-grown trees to families throughout the region.

Our team shared insight into the seasonal work behind the scenes—from sourcing and handling trees to helping customers find the right tree for their space—highlighting the care, knowledge, and teamwork behind one of the most beloved holiday traditions. Christmas tree season is one of the busiest times of year at Mahoney’s, and it relies on the coordination of many hands working together across departments and locations.

We’re especially proud that this feature shines a light on the people who make the season possible. From the first customer question to the final tree heading home, our team plays a key role in helping families create meaningful holiday memories. We’re grateful to the GBH Curiosity Desk team for the opportunity to share our story and to our customers for continuing to make Mahoney’s part of their holiday tradition year after year.
