As Christnas decorations come down, people across the UK are being offered advice on how to reuse and make the most of their real Christmas tree. Experts at Gardening Express have looked into the creative and eco-friendly ways that dried out Christmas trees can be put to good use at home and in the garden.
Many real Christmas trees find their way to landfill after the festivities are over, but there are a number of better ways the needles, branches and wood from the tree can be repurposed. From mulch to decorations, upcycling the dying tree will have many beneficial uses around the garden and home.
Chris Bonnett, the founder of Gardening Express said: “There’s so much more that can be done with your real Christmas tree besides tossing it away. “Once the tree has fulfilled its festive purpose, it can be recycled and used for gardening, supporting wildlife or craft projects.
