Celebration Groves
Join together to celebrate a special person, or a special event, with a grove of trees
in the Scottish Highlands.
A grove of trees is a lasting gift or memorial. Instead of giving someone a single tree, you can set up a grove
to allow friends and family to plant a number of trees for the same person or occasion. We will set up a page on
this website to tell people about the grove, and where you can see how people have responded. Your dedications will
appear on our website and be read out as the trees are planted.
You can set up a Wedding Grove,
Baby Grove or a Memorial Grove.
See our dedicated pages.
We can also set up groves for other occasions. For example:
- Birthdays
- Anniversaries
- Retirements and leaving gifts
- To mark the completion of a project
- ... and more.
See the list of groves that have been created.
How to set up
Take a look at the existing grove pages, and send us details of what you'd like; then we'll set up the grove.
Send us an email at trees@findhorn.org, with:
- The person or event the grove is for
- The occasion
- Any significant dates
- A photograph and text for the grove page
- YOUR contact address and phone number (these will not appear on the page)
One photo per grove please. It would be very helpful if you could email the photo as an attachment along with
the grove request. This enables us to get your grove up quickly and easily. The exact size and shape will depend
on the photograph, but it will generally be resized to no larger than approximately 300 x 400 pixels. Please send
images no larger than 1mb. If you would like specific photos from this website included on your grove, please
include in your email either their filenames, or the URL of the page they were on.
Setting up the grove and planting the first eight trees is £50. Each additional £5 donated towards the
grove allows us to plant another tree. The initial payment (min. £50) is due when your grove has been set up. You can
pay online using the button on the grove page. Alternatively, you can pay when you request the grove, using the
'Make a Donation' section on this page, Make a donation, and
using the 'further information' section on the page to tell us about the grove. If you do this you will need to email us
your photograph separately. Please note that your grove page may
be removed if the initial payment is not made within
10 days of the grove being set up.
Each grove is unique, so please contact us if you have any queries.
What Happens Next
Please allow up to 10 days to set up your grove. We will then email you to let you know when it's up
and give you the URL so you and your friends can find it easily. We'll then keep the page updated with
the names of people who have made a donation, the total amount raised by the grove, and how many trees the grove consists of.
Your Grove Gift Certificate
You may choose to have a certificate created for your grove. If you would like this, we will post it to
you at a date of your choice.
