Overview
It's impossible to think about Christmas without also thinking about ornament-adorned trees, but the traditional towering variety isn't always practical. Perhaps you don't have space in your apartment. Maybe you're keen on the real thing, but just can't make it to market, farm or nursery to get one. And, even if you've found a place for the same old plastic tree that you trot out every year, you're probably still wishing that you could gaze up at the real thing.
Floraly, the Australian plant delivery service that focuses on sustainable blooms and even offers monthly subscriptions, now has a Christmas offering — and if you're eager for a living tree, and you're happy with a pint-sized version, then it's about to make your festive dreams come true. 'Tis the season to order a 60-centimetre-tall tiny tree that comes with decorations and a pop-up pot, wait for it to be delivered, then feel mighty jolly.
Sourced from farms in Victoria and New South Wales, and able to be sent Australia-wide, Floraly's trees also arrive with soil, fairy lights, baubles and a tree-topper — so they really do look like miniature versions of your ideal Christmas centrepiece. You'll also receive batteries to power the lights and, if you need some extra sweetness, can order some Koko Black chocolate with your mini plant.
In line with Floraly's eco-conscious mindset, its trees still have their root system intact. That means that once Christmas is over, you can replant them, keep them for some year-round merriment and then enjoy their splendour next year. The trees also come in fully recyclable packaging, further reducing their environmental impact.
If you're keen, you can pre-order a small bundle of greenery from the Floraly website for $79, with trees due to be shipped in the first week of December. Even better — delivery is free to Sydney, Wollongong, the Central Coast, Brisbane and Melbourne. Fancy sending a tiny tree as a gift? You can do that too.
Floraly's tiny Christmas trees are available to pre-order now by visiting the service's website.
