Active Kids tree pack

**Mouse** · 04-09-2009, 01:42 PM

When I did my Active Kids order I ticked the box to say I'd like a pack of trees, never for a moment thinking they'd give them to a childminder.

But guess what? I've had a letter saying I've been chosen to receive...30 trees!!! What on earth am I going to do with 30 trees

We've got a big garden, but not that big, especially when they need planting 2m apart!

I'm hoping it's the hedge pack, in which case we have got room for them. If not I'll give the rest to school...or everyone will be getting a tree for christmas this year

Shame you live too far away, we could do with some more trees in our garden. Moved to a farmhouse and the garden is huge

**loocyloo** · 04-09-2009, 04:07 PM

how about seeing if the parish council has some room in a park or somewhere you could plant them?

I have been selected to receive 30 trees too!

One of my customers had a brilliant idea - Offer the trees for sale at £2.50 per tree or so and then use the money to buy toys for the kids - thats what i am going to do - already sold 5.

omg

make sure you get some publitcy (spelling) on donating all the trees

**squiggle** · 04-09-2009, 07:07 PM

I have recieved a letter too to say i have won 30 trees

Am going to donate them to the two schools and nursery i drop-off and collect from

Have posted this a couple of times on FB but give one each to local childminders and get the local paper to run an article on you giving them to CM and get yourself some free advertising

**Mouse** · 05-09-2009, 01:24 PM

Yes, that's a really good idea Kate.

I've already offered mine to some of the childminders & the rest will go to school. We've had such a long association with the school that it would be nice to give them a permanent gift.

**Moominmomma** · 05-09-2009, 02:09 PM

I want trees too, can we still apply? I have no room either but I could donate them to school etc..

**newandlearning** · 05-09-2009, 02:44 PM

.. OMG .. I'm very glad that didn't happen to me by DH would be getting me sectioned into the nearest funny farm in that happened to me..
