		<description><![CDATA[While Christmas trees are grown to be sacrificed (kind of ironic, huh?) , some of us recoil at the thought of cutting down a living tree and watching it slowly die in our living rooms.  There are alternatives.

		<description><![CDATA[One of the Glorious things about Front Range winters is the warm spell.  It&#8217;s not unusual to hit 60 or even 70 degrees in winter, but however much we enjoy it, it can be tough on our perennials and shrubs.
