What a lovely idea! I haven't even heard of that, and we haven't been sent anything... Rhiannon's older than Sam though, so I wonder if we'll get something soon too!

Ooo I hope Indi gets one too! I'm planning on us starting a yearly tradition of tree planting so that would be a good start!

Wow


Thats an amazing idea. I also found this site once that does tiny lil trees as wedding favors and gifts for all kinda stuff i mean these u have to take care of in doors till there big enough to go outside but isnt a great idea for atleast each person in ur wedding party to have a tree that grows with ur marriage but they also did new baby ones and i always thought it was such a good idea to plant a tree with or for ur child.. Thats taking care of their future too.

Hadn't heard of this either, but apparently every child born or adopted from Jan 1st 2008 onwards in Wales will have a tree planted:

Really good idea
