Once upon a time there was a sheep farm in the Wicklow Mountains. The farmer and his trusty sheepdog checked on their flock every day. They cared so much about the sheep. One day he realized that he couldn't keep saying goodbye to his friends anymore. He wanted to find a way of keeping all the things he cared for around for longer.
So he thought, how about I grow Christmas trees? They will stay around for more than 10 years and and I can really look after them. So he decided to plant a field of Christmas trees and then another, and then another. Thirty years later the farmer and his dog's grandpup are still planting Christmas trees together.
Visit Seamus (the farmer) and Charlie (the dog) and take home a Wicklow Mountain tradition for the very first time in 2024.

We don’t, in our experience people are disappointed with the results they get from a potted tree. They rarely take to their new home.
