I entered for the Sainsbury's Active Kids Free Tree Pack.

I got a letter today to say I was one of the lucky organisations who will receive a free tree pack. I thought fantastic.

I read further down the letter where it says I will be having 30 trees delivered to me in November. 30!!!!!

Any ideas what I can do with them. I thought it was only going to be one:laughing: :laughing:

Maybe ur local school or preschool might like some.

My daughters' school planted some trees on their field recently.

If their fruit trees u can plant them at the bottom of the garden, u can be self sufficient like the good life:laughing:

I would have suggested your local school too.

If not is there a branch of the woodland trust near you that would take them

We've got a huge park near us (Henry VIII used to hunt there!!) I thought about contacting Friend's of Nonsuch Park and ask if they would like them.

The local school's, pre-schools haven't really got the grounds for them

Any other minders or your network fancy them?
A community nursery perhaps, old peoples home, the local hospice

That's an idea. I might ask the old people's home where my Nana was if they want some. It would be lovely to have them there to remember her by

I kept some for our garden and gave the rest to school & other cms.

I have to say, they are tiny when they arrive - not much more that twigs.

I'd had visions of 3 massive trees turning up & kept wondering where I was going to store them all!

Last year I got the hedge pack which had holly, hawthorn and others that I can' remember now.

It looks like this is what you get this year
