Rooted in Ireland

Rooted in Ireland is an oak planting project in County Armagh, Northern Ireland. The project plants oak trees, and then offers them for sale to interested parties around the world, as gifts etc. The project is affiliated with Marie Curie Cancer Care,and a percentage of the purchase price of each tree goes to this charity. The organisation has also recently launched an online Irish Gift Store to help finance the project. It is called Great Gifts From Ireland.
