Planet Friendly Gifts
Our parcels are made with certified FSC card and printed using vegetable inks which are a natural, environmentally friendly alternative to petroleum-based ink. The vegetable inks come from sustainable farming methods which reduce the amount of CO2 in the air.
The clear parcel cover (not shown) we use to protect the parcel on its journey is 100% compostable and 100% carbon neutral. The covers are made from ethically-sourced sugar cane which is sustainable, planet-friendly.
Ethical Tree Care
The Present Tree only uses 100% organic, natural products, that means we never, ever use harmful chemicals! We are really proud that all our care products are wonderful for us, our pets, all wildlife and the planet. Our trees are given the perfect nourishment and protection to promote healthy growth without negatively impacting our world. To read more about our Organic Plant Care click here.
The compost we use is certified 100% organic, peat-free and made from sustainable sources in Ireland which helps reduce our carbon footprint. It is produced on a worm farm and created when the worms digest their bedding material converting it to rich organic compost. Fascinating, thank you wonderful worm workers!
Our pots are made from spruce fibres (a super-sustainable material) and manufactured without any glues or binders. Using these materials makes the biodegradable pots 100% compostable meaning there is zero waste!
Biodiversity Policy
Biodiversity is the variety of all natural life existing in one area. It is important as all the different animals, plants, fungi and microorganisms thrive together in an ecosystem which provides balance and support in our beautiful world. The Present Tree is devoted to maintaining biodiversity. We have large wild areas among our young trees to encourage and support everything in nature that we need to maintain our environment.
Low Emissions Delivery Service
We aim to keep our delivery carbon footprint as low as possible and minimise the impact we have on the environment. We use Royal Mail as they are the greenest couriers who continue to put environmental issues at the top of their business agenda, have a clear environmental policy and targets for reducing CO2 emissions.
Giving Back to our Wildlife
Protecting wildlife holds a very special place in our hearts here at The Present Tree, especially our bees and other buzzy pollinators which is why we proudly sponsor The Bumblebee Conservation Trust. This organisation shares our passion for saving bumble bees and striving to create a world where bees are thriving and valued.
