Sainsbury's Active Kids

**littletreasures** · 20-09-2010, 04:46 PM

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

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

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

Sounds like a good idea!

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

lol! I posted exactly the same thing last year - what was I supposed to do with 30 trees??

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

There is only you could end up with 30 trees hahahaha

you could sell them on ebay

**Mookins** · 20-09-2010, 06:36 PM

contact your local council...arrange for a donation of trees on behalf of you and your childminding setting....great free advertising

well done by the way

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!

What trees were they?

I've received the same letter - panic came at 30 trees!!!! Was thinking of donating to school, but not sure of rules and regs about it though! x

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
