Trees have benefits for animals & people so why not give a tree gift? They come in all sizes, so there's no need to think you have to present them with an oak tree - you can find trees for all sorts of locations. Your tree gift is long-lasting, and everytime the lucky recipient looks at his or her tree, they will think of you!
Why do trees matter?
- Trees give shade from the sun & heat of the day
- Trees provide food - fruit from fruit trees, lemons & oranges from the citrus - while animals eat leaves & some eat the bark of a tree
- Trees shelter people & animals from bad weather - those heavy rainpours & windy days
- They give us a sense of peace and serenity, grounding, connecting with nature, a feeling of contentment
- They provide better air quality as they take in the more toxic gases
- They produce oxygen for both animals and people to breathe
- Trees reduce noise pollution
- Trees provide homes to animals who nest in them
- Trees offer a great place to socialise
- Trees make long-lasting, environmentally friendly gifts
- Trees provide a sense of continuity, always a comfort in times of change & upheaval.
- People get very fond of trees - they provide a gentle touch to today's frenzied living lifestyles

Victorian Plum Tree,
an old favourite, from Tree2mydoor.com

The tree gift is perfect for many occasions - planting the root to a happy marriage for newly weds on their Wedding Day, starting off the seed to life and welcoming a new born to the world with a tree, being a way to remember someone special to a person after their death, anniversary gifts as couples remember the long happy years they have spent together (and the windier times they have stood strong against the elements of life and relationships...)
I love the company Tree2mydoor.com because they make life easy for you, especially if your knowledge of trees is, well the size of an acorn. You can choose the location you want to have the tree in - e.g. hallway, balcony, conservatory, driveway, small garden, patio, big garden etc - and specify a price - and the web site will come up with a list of trees which are suitable for those locations. This makes choosing a tree a lot easier & the search a lot faster, especially if you don't know a lot about trees.
