A garden centre on the outskirts of Wrexham is delivering the festive cheer with free Christmas trees for local schools and nurseries.
Dobbies Garden Centres has teamed up with sustainable real tree grower, Needlefresh, to give away more than 220 real trees across its UK stores during the Christmas season.
Local schools and nurseries within 20 miles of the Dobbies Moreton Park store can apply for a free Christmas tree and entries close Thursday 6 November at 5pm. Participants will need to fill out a short application form, which the Dobbies’ team will then review to help them select successful recipients.
Dobbies’ Plant Buyer Nigel Lawton said: “Our Dobbies Community Christmas Tree campaign is a great opportunity to spread festive joy with local schools and nurseries near our Moreton Park store, showing children the magic a real Christmas tree can bring. We can’t wait to see what the successful applicants do with their trees.
“Once you have collected your cut tree from Dobbies, we recommend keeping it outside in a sheltered area. Cut one inch off the base of the trunk and stand the tree in a bucket of water until you are ready to bring it indoors, this will help reduce needle drop by keeping it hydrated.”
Dobbies Christmas trees from Needlefresh are sustainably grown in environmentally managed fields across Scotland, where a small growing team plant, prune and harvest each tree by hand. This method ensures the surrounding environment, wildlife and plants are looked after.
Kenneth Mitchell from Needlefresh said: “We are proud to once again support Dobbies with their community Christmas tree initiative that allows schools and nurseries near its Moreton Park store the opportunity to enjoy a real Christmas tree as part of their festive celebrations.”
Dobbies Community Christmas Tree winners will be informed by mid-November and can collect their Christmas tree on Thursday 27 November at the Christmas Shopping Night or at an arranged date with the Moreton Park store.
