Press Release from Growing Gifts by Miller and Brown:
With the focus on sustainability and native, water wise plants, Australians, businesses and individuals can make a positive difference in their selection of Christmas gifts this season.
The tradition of the Christmas tree dates back to the ancient pagan belief that Evergreen trees represent the ‘renewal of life”. By the early 1900s, most nations that celebrate Christmas had embraced the idea of decorating the Christmas tree and it has become synonymous with the festivities of the season. With this in mind why not start a new tradition and plant a Native Christmas tree this year.
Growing Gifts by Miller and Brown offers a wide range of Native Christmas tree gifts that make a great alternative to cut Pine trees. Our trees are beautifully decorated and can be planted after Christmas for years of enjoyment. Native trees are water wise and attract nectar feeding birds and butterflies to your garden. All our Native trees are attractive specimens and are suitable in a tub on the patio or for the smaller garden.
Quote by Burton Hillis:" The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree is the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other”
Orders are placed online on a secure website and we deliver throughout Victoria, and NSW, ACT, SA and QLD Metropolitan Areas.

Going Green at Christmas
Going Green at Christmas time is another way to help the environment and leave a better, cleaner and safer world for our children. Below are some tips on how you can ‘go green’.
+ Make sure you turn off your Christmas lights when they are not being viewed;
+ Buy decorations that you can use year after year;q
+ Ensure any lights bulbs in decorations use LEDs instead of the traditional bulbs. LED string lights last 10 times longer and dramatically reduce electricity consumption;
+Make sure that you turn off appliances, including Christmas tree lights and other electrical decorations at the power point before going away over the Christmas holidays;
+ Have a go at making your own decorations from items you have around the house, for example, Make your Own Bon Bons;
+ Use packaging that can be used again, for example gift bags are often better than paper;
+ Buy Christmas gifts that are locally produced;
+ Buy Christmas gifts that are recyclable;
+ Buy Christmas gifts that are energy efficient;
+ Give environmentally friendly Christmas gifts from toys that do not run on batteries to homemade presents;
+ Recycle Christmas cards that you receive in recyclable rubbish or better still, the ‘Cards 4 Planet Ark’ program; |
