Birth of a Baby Gift Tree

There are few occasions more joyous than the birth of a baby. And there are few gifts more apt for such an occasion than the planting of a native Irish tree. Growing forever more in the beautiful Irish countryside, it is the perfect baby gift.

Description

Finding the perfect baby gift to celebrate the arrival of a new-born can be a difficult task. Parents are often inundated with presents and it is almost impossible to know what they may have been given. That is why planting a native Irish tree in the baby’s name is the perfect way to welcome them into the world. It is a truly unique and heartfelt gift that is unlike any other they will receive.

Unlike toys and clothes, it is not a gift that the baby will grow out of quickly. Rather, it is a gift which will grown alongside them as they grow. It is a gift which they will come to appreciate all the more as they grow older, a gift that will take on more meaning and emotional power with every passing year.

Finally, it is a gift which will have a positive impact on the wider world, as planting trees serve numerous environmental benefits. From cleansing and improving the quality of our air, reversing and combatting the effects of climate change and providing a natural habitat and food source for countless wildlife, surely there is no better tribute to a new-born baby.

The joy the baby brings to the lives of those around them is perfectly mirrored in the wonderful effects the tree brings to its natural surroundings.

Planting Process

When you place your order to plant a tree you can choose the type of tree you wish to have planted from a selection of eight native Irish trees.  All the trees are planted on 10 acres of beautiful, picturesque lakeside woodland located in North County Dublin, near the small village of Naul.

We plant three flowering bulbs for each Tree planted, and the c. 2,000 tree woodland is surrounded with 1.5 million wildflowers and pollinated by our 10,000 bees.

The Google Earth position of the tree planted is included in all our official Planting Certificates and the area can be viewed online.

Once the tree has been planted, it will be lovingly and expertly watered and tended to by our caretakers who will ensure it grows to be strong, healthy and long-lasting.

Certification

After the purchase has been made, you will be emailed a digital version of the Certificate. We will also post our official planting certificate, which is customised and personalised to match the occasion at checkout, to your chosen delivery address.

It will be accompanied by a handwritten card that echoes the sentiment you chose for the Certificate.

You can have as many planting certificates issued as you wish if reasonable.

Framing Service also available for €32 including The Frame, Mounting, Padded packaging, Tracked postage and same day dispatch.

These personalised, visually-pleasing certificates can be framed and hung, to serve as a handsome reminder of this unique and poignant baby gift.

We also provide trees for a number of other occasions such as anniversaries, weddings and birthdays and we can create a certificate for any other need, eg. a Thank You tree gift, a Retirement tree gift, etc.

Here is a sample of what some people who have dedicated a tree have said..

My parents were overwhelmed and loved the gesture. Knowing that my late Aunt and Uncle have been memorialised in this way has been incredibly healing for my parents. Can't thank you enough for the service.

John Hyland Dublin

  COVID restrictions in 2020 meant I couldn't attend my Aunt's funeral to support my mother. I desperately wanted to be able to DO something that would ease the pain and loss she was feeling. Planting a memorial oak tree was cathartic for both of us. Knowing my Aunt's memory lives on is something I never thought would be so healing. Could not be happier with the service from Bob.

  Sean H -Swords

  It gives me great comfort to look at the certificate and think of the Rowan Tree that they both would love so very much

  Yvonne M – Athlone

  I absolutely love the Certificate. My mom and sister are as touched as I am! Thank you for sending the 2 extra copies for no extra cost as you know I was more than happy to pay more.  I will spread the word about what you guys are doing because it’s really something special!

Lisa B Arizona USA

That tree made my day. Both of my parents were cremated and have some kind of plaque in Glasnevin that I've never visited as I never thought of them as being there exactly. I now have a place, a picture and a symbol of life and renewal to associate them with. I know they'd like that.

Marcus F – Tipperary

  Thank you so much. This is a wonderful service.

Bernie B - Galway

My sister is going to love this , there will be some tears falling , but also remembering the good times!

  Pauline D – Dublin 8

I just received the Certificate and it is really, really lovely, thank you.

Quite emotional to receive the certificate actually!

  A little more about our woodland plan and vision.

All trees are Native Irish species.

When planted when about 3-4.5 feet tall.

tree is originally grown from seeds, hand collected and nurtured from Woods across Ireland.

land has been well prepared, ploughed, and tilled so that roots can establish quickly - which encourages up to 5 times faster tree growth versus compacted soil.

We mix-plant a range of fruit, berry, seed, and nut-producing trees.

  Every Tree means the planting of 3 bulbs of bluebell, snowdrop, and daffodil bulbs. All together creating habitat and food for insects and animals.

This is a forever woodland and gently managed to maintain the health of the woodland for decades to come, should a tree ever be damaged it will be replaced.

Bob has reared his grown-up family in the Naul and John's family has farmed the land around the Naul Village for more than 300 years.
