About the Gift Box
A baby tree is a gift that is as memorable as the occasion for which it is given. Trees can be used to mark many significant moments in our lives; births, birthdays, housewarming, marriage, death or just to say "thanks". Give a gift that goes on giving.
Trees Please baby trees are planted into a wooden planter, so there is no rush for the recipient to plant it out. Providing it is watered and cared for your baby tree can last in its planter for several months and then be planted directly into a larger pot or the garden as its planter is biodegradable. Trees will grow to their full height under the right conditions otherwise they make a wonderful potted tree.
Trees Please planters are finished with river stones and for protection in transit they are covered with brown paper. Each tree comes with planting instructions and a copper tag for labeling the date or occasion given or to note who has given it.
Trees Please baby trees are packaged in an attractive pine carry box (450mm high x 150mm square) with leather handle, designed to ensure your gift arrives in good condition.
Because we value our planet, all materials used are recycled, recyclable or come from sustainable sources.
- Delivery is nationwide, NZ only
- All gifts include a card containing your personal message
