🌳 GARDEN TREE GIVEAWAY: SEND YOUR PHOTOS 🌳

Have you received a tree from us as part of the Oxfordshire Garden Tree Giveaway?

We would love to know how it's doing and receive a picture of it in leaf or flower. Also let us know the year you received it if possible.

Email your photos to [email protected]

Remember to keep watering your tree regularly for the first three years. They'll need roughly 50 litres per week over the summer! Rain water is best, but if using tap water leave it outside in a bucket for 24 hours beforehand for the chlorine to evaporate.

We expect to be running the giveaway again this year and will be offering single garden trees and hedgerow packs to applicants.
