We provide the picnic boxes, you can bring a blanket to get cosy at your table in the trees.

Then take all the time you want to walk through the trees. If you spot 'the one' you can tag it! It will be yours to either take home that day, we'll freshly cut it for you. Or you can choose a date in the future to collect your tree.
