I’VE GOT 99 TREES, BUT A BIRCH AIN’T ONE
From Larne to Newcastle, Lurgan to Portavogie and everywhere in between...
150 trees collected, 1000 miles driven, 25 happy donkeys: I think we might be crazy!
When we made a Facebook post requesting Christmas trees we really didn’t expect any more than 30 or so. To our amazement we were offered over 500! We don’t have the capacity for so many so we had to limit it. We ended up collecting 150 trees and we had 50 trees delivered to us in total.
The donkeys not only love the taste of pine trees, they are also full of nutrients such as; Vitamin A, vitamin C and also plenty of fibre! You would think 200 trees would last a long time, but you haven’t seen Denis - an expert at stripping a Christmas tree.
Thank you so much to everyone who donated their trees, we’ll be better prepared next year now that we know how many to expect. For now at least, that’s the Christmas season over for another year.
