Getting married or forming a civil partnership? How about the wedding list with a difference!
Get trees instead of toasters, it's much more romantic!
Over the years couples who share a love of nature, have been inspired by
our vision and accomplishments for the Caledonian Forest, and have asked
their guests to make donations to Trees for Life, for us to plant a grove of
trees in their name, to celebrate their wedding or partnership. It's a great
way to involve family and friends of the couple, giving them a lasting gift
of love.

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 text you'd like on your grove page
- A photograph for the page, in .jpg format
- The date of your wedding/partnership ceremony
- Bride's first name and surname
- Groom's first name and surname
- 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.
Please note: no new groves or updates until 13th October 2008. Groves requested in this time will be put up after the 13th October.
Your Grove Gift Certificate
We can provide
a full colour A4 size frameable certificate carrying your own personal
dedication to mark this special occasion. Please see the Plant
a Tree for Life Wedding Certificate.

baby, as a living
memorial, or to
celebrate events such as birthdays and anniversaries.
Alternatively, you can dedicate a tree as a gift.
