Sometimes I really struggle to choose gifts for people. Most people seem to have everything they need already, and it can be so hard to find unique present ideas, especially for people like parents and grandparents.
I was recently introduced to Tree2MyDoor, who offer ‘living gifts for lasting memories’. You simply choose a gift from the huge range of plants, trees and bushes, personalise the greeting if you want to, and send! There are all sorts of options to choose from – everything from fruit and citrus trees to nut plants and roses. Something for everyone.
I was sent a Magnolia Susan tree – a purple and red flowering tree, described as the perfect thing for adding a splash of colour to any garden.
The tree arrived in a large box, and was about 1 metre tall on delivery. It comes in it’s own sturdy pot, ready for you to plant out. It looked in very good condition when we unpacked it, despite it having been in transit – and after a good water, the leaves brightened up even further. Since then, it has continued to flourish, and although we haven’t had any flowers yet, I am looking forward to seeing them next spring. The Tree2MyDoor website has some great images so that you know what to expect when you buy:
This particular tree can be around 2-3 metres tall, but there are larger and smaller trees available on the website if you are after something different.
I absolutely love the idea of sending a tree or plant as a gift, especially for something such as a new baby or a Christening gift – you could watch the tree grow along with the child. I think that’s a little bit magical!

Love spring flowers especially daffs because they brighten up the garden after the winter.Saying that my favourite flower tends to change with the seaon.
My favourate part is where the seeds are as it reminds you where all life starts Dxx
I love Bluebells. They remind me of my favourite Enid Blyton books as a child as they always used to feature in her woodland descriptions of magical forests. They still send a shiver of magic down my spine when I see them now.
I love my yukka, it’s an indoor plant and it really brightens up my front room
It’s got to be the rose as there’s so many different varieties, they flower for a long period, come in beautiful colours and some have a fabulous scent. I’d never be without roses in my garden!
After being told for years by my wife to finish sorting the garden, I’ve finally finished sorting the garden. And it has a huge empty patch that I just composted yesterday. This tree would take pride of place in that spot.
Oh, almost impossible to answer because I love the fragrance of stocks and freesias; the majesty of delphiniums and the sheer endurance of the stunning little erigeron daisy.
I love growing herbs, I get such a feeling of satisfaction picking them and using them to cook with.
Thanks for a lovely giveaway 🙂 xx
