Rooted in wonder, grown with care

Here at Chimney Sheep, we're passionate about the power of trees. From their role in soaking up carbon to providing homes for wildlife and roots that help hold our precious soil together - trees are quiet heroes in the fight for a healthier planet. That's why we're rather smitten with this Grow Your Own British Tree Kit. It's a gentle, joy-filled way to connect with nature, support biodiversity, and start a tree-growing journey of your very own. 

Inside this lovely little bundle you'll find everything needed to grow a native British tree from seed: alder and field maple seedballs, a biodegradable plant pot made from bamboo and rice husk, a disc of peat-free compost, wooden plant markers, and a set of beautifully hand-illustrated tree ID cards to help you recognise your sapling's cousins out in the wild. It all comes tucked inside a reusable hessian drawstring bag - no plastic, no waste, just proper planet-friendly materials from start to finish. 

We believe that small, hands-on activities like this are more than just good fun (though they are very good fun), They're seeds of knowledge, helping children learn about the environment in a way that's meaningful, memorable, and muddy in all the right places. 

We know we go on about trees all the time so why not take a peak at our March 2025 blog post - a Buy Land Plant Trees (BLPT) update! 

To give your tiny tree the best possible start, pair it with our Grazers Woolch - our natural wool mulch and soil sweetener made from 100% Cumbrian sheep's wool with added biochar for a nourishing boost. It keeps moisture in, weeds out, and roots warm, giving your new sapling a lovely woolly bed to settle into. 

We love this kit because it reflects everything we stand for: caring for the earth, reducing waste, and encouraging more people to get stuck into nature. One tree at a time. 

Why is it important to get children to play outside? 

Here at Chimney Sheep, we see the value in nature play! Being outdoors is great for our mental and physical growth, education, and understanding of the world and our place in it. We want to make playing outside fun and interesting by doing something a little bit different. Our range of kits will provide an activity for all interests. Whether your child is arty or sporty, into bugs or flowers, we'll have a kit for them. Providing children with all they need to play and learn, leaving an enduring connection with nature and all it holds! 

Research founded by The Wildlife Trust found children's well-being increased after they had spent time connecting with nature. Children have reported their experience outside made them more confident and capable of doing new things when they tried, learned something new, and formed better relationships with classmates. More benefits of outdoor play can be found here.
