December is upon us and lots of us will be preparing our Christmas decorations for our homes, work spaces and retail stores. The tradition of the Christmas tree originates from Central Europe around the 1600s, where evergreen trees symbolised rebirth. The custom spread to England and later to the U.S. through German immigrants, influencing the widespread adoption of Christmas trees globally.

According to Teagasc , Ireland produces around 650,000 Christmas trees annually, with 450,000 sold locally and 200,000 exported, mostly to the UK. The main tree species grown in Ireland are Nordmann Fir and Noble Fir, prized for their needle retention, while Norway Spruce, once popular, has fallen out of favour due to its needle loss.

If you decide to opt for a real Christmas tree this year, make sure you follow these essential Christmas Tree Care Tips:

✓ WATER 💧 - Place the tree in water as soon as possible after cutting and water consistently.
✓ HEAT 🔥 - Avoid placing the tree near radiators, fireplaces, or direct sunlight, which dry it out faster.
✓ LED lights 💡 - They emit less heat and reduce drying.
✓ DRYNESS 🎄 - If needles become brittle or branches droop, increase watering.
✓ DISPOSE 🚮 - After Christmas, recycle your tree through local programs or use it for mulch.

Holly grows wild all over Ireland, brightening our hedgerows and woodlands when the rest of the countryside settles into winter. Long before Christmas, the Celts honoured it as a sign of protection and renewal. No wonder it became such a beloved part of our Christmas traditions—an evergreen touch of Irish magic in the heart of winter. ❄️

Help your wild birds stay healthy through the cold, Winter months.

✓ Offer variety with a mix of feeders : ground, table & hanging. Different Birds have different needs so using a mix of feeders will attract a variety of different species.

✓ Boost their energy with peanuts, sunflower hearts & fat balls. This mix of high-energy foods give birds the extra calories they need to keep warm.

✓ Don’t Forget Water! Break ice daily & refill with fresh, warm water. Water is harder to find than food in winter so treat them to some fresh drinking water.

✓ Stay hygienic by removing mouldy food & cleaning feeders regularly.
This will helps prevent disease spread.

✓ Consistency matters so feed little & often. Top up in the morning & late afternoon as your little garden visitors will rely on predictable food sources.

Did you know Halloween’s pumpkins started as carved turnips? 👻
Irish folklore tells of Stingy Jack, a trickster who cheated the Devil and was condemned to roam the earth with only a glowing coal inside a hollowed turnip to light his way. People began carving their own versions of Jack’s lanterns to frighten away his wandering spirit. When Irish immigrants brought these traditions to America in the 1800s, pumpkins took the spotlight — native, sustainable, and perfect for carving. 🌱🎃
