A Butterfly Baby Tree & €40 donation to Féileacáin

Description

Planting a Memorial Butterfly tree as part of a stunning lakeside woodland is a lovely and meaningful way of remembering a baby who has been lost. This serene setting is the perfect place to preserve and protect their memory.

By arranging the planting of a Butterfly tree you will also be donating €40 to Féileacáin (Butterfly)-Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Association of Ireland – SANDAI - A National charity.

A simple but powerful gesture, the tree planted will forever honour the immeasurable impact of their existence. The tree can also help bring comfort to a grieving parent or family as it continues to grow, slowly and steadily, for generations.

The tree planted in memory of a lost baby will be specially planted in a huge butterfly-shaped plot of the woodland. Comprised of hundreds of such trees, and the body of the Butterfly is made up of dozens of buddleia bushes, attracting 100s of butterflies throughout summer, in time, the giant butterfly shape will be visible from Google Earth Images.

Planting Process

All the trees are planted on our 10 acres of beautiful, peaceful, lakeside woodland, located in North County Dublin, near the small village of Naul. Other Memorial Trees are planted in the shape of huge leaves, with a butterfly plot between each pair of leaves.

We plant flowering bulbs with each Tree planted, and the c.2,000 tree woodland is surrounded by millions wildflowers and pollinated by our 15,000 bees.

The sentiment of your choice will be printed on the certificate.

You can have your own sentiment or perhaps be inspired by some of our suggestions - Click HERE to see them.

About our planters and founders - Bob and John work together to create a woodland that celebrates life, planting native Irish Trees and bulbs to create a 6 acre ‘Forever’ woodland on a lakeside in North County Dublin woodland. Here is a sample of what some people who have dedicated a tree have said.. "My parents were overwhelmed and loved the gesture. Knowing that my late Aunt and Uncle have been memorialised in this way has been incredibly healing for my parents. Can't thank you enough for the service." John Hyland Dublin "COVID restrictions in 2020 meant I couldn't attend my Aunt's funeral to support my mother. I desperately wanted to be able to DO something that would ease the pain and loss she was feeling. Planting a memorial oak tree was cathartic for both of us. Knowing my Aunt's memory lives on is something I never thought would be so healing. Could not be happier with the service from Bob." Sean H -Swords "It gives me great comfort to look at the certificate and think of the Rowan Tree that they both would love so very much" Yvonne M – Athlone "I absolutely love the Certificate. My mom and sister are as touched as I am! I will spread the word about what you guys are doing because it’s really something special"! Lisa B Arizona USA "That tree made my day. Both of my parents were cremated and have some kind of plaque in Glasnevin that I've never visited as I never thought of them as being there exactly. I now have a place, a picture and a symbol of life and renewal to associate them with. I know they'd like that". Marcus F – Tipperary "Thank you so much. This is a wonderful service". Bernie B - Galway "My sister is going to love this , there will be some tears falling , but also remembering the good times"! Pauline D – Dublin 8 "I just received the Certificate and it is really, really lovely, thank you. Quite emotional to receive the certificate actually!" Charley S – Wexford A little more about our woodland plan and vision. All trees are Native Irish species. When planted when about 3-4.5 feet tall. Each tree is originally grown from seeds, hand collected and nurtured from Woods across Ireland. The land has been well prepared, ploughed, and tilled so that roots can establish quickly - which encourages up to 5 times faster tree growth versus compacted soil. We mix-plant a range of fruit, berry, seed, and nut-producing trees. Every Memorial Tree is underplanted with a mix of bluebell, snowdrop, and daffodil bulbs. All together creating habitat and food for insects and animals. This is a forever woodland and gently managed to maintain the health of the woodland for decades to come, should a tree ever be damaged it will be replaced. Bob has reared his grown-up family in the Naul and John's family has farmed the land around the Naul Village for more than 300 years.

Bob is founder of IrishUrns.com and IrishTrees.ie and he works with families suffering from loss every day, and John spent many years as a local Funeral Director. And love nothing better than talking with families about how they can help. Their main hope is that families are comforted knowing their loved ones' memory lives on in a memorial tree and are building in paths, benches and having open days, to witness the spring bulbs, the flowering trees, the wild flowering meadows in full display, and planting days etc. They are currently developing the addition of Bee Hives and wildflower meadow areas between planting areas. This is a forever woodland and will be gently managed to maintain the health of the woodland for decades to come and should a tree be damaged eg. by storm, it will be replaced.
