Welcome

  WELCOME TO THE MAGNOLIA TREE

WE CALLED THE SHOP BY THIS NAME DUE TO A LITTLE MAGNOLIA TREE WE HAVE HAD FOR OVER 20 YEARS. THE TREE WAS BOUGHT FOR PETER WHO OWNS THE SHOP BY HIS WIFE JEANNETTE ON THEIR 1ST WEDDING ANNIVERSARY. PAPER BEING THE TRADITIONAL GIFT FOR THE FIRST ONE, PAPER COMES FROM TREES, SO HENCE ONE LITTLE MAGNOLIA TREE ARRIVES. NOW IT SAYS IN ALL THE GARDENING BOOKS THAT MAGNOLIA TREES MUST NOT BE MOVED AS THEY HAVE SHALLOW AND BRITTLE ROOTS AND THESE WILL SNAP IF DUG UP AND THE TREE WILL DIE. BUT... WHEN JEANNETTE AND PETER MOVED HOME NOT ONCE BUT FOUR TIMES LITTLE MAGNOLIA TREE WENT WITH THEM AND IT STILL BLOSSOMED EVERY YEAR.

THEY MOVED TO WALES A WHILE AGO AND AGAIN THE GARDENING BOOKS TELL YOU THE MAGNOLIA SHOULD BE SHELTERED FROM FROSTS AND HARSH COLD WINDS, SO WHERE DID IT END UP... RIGHT ON TOP OF A MOUNTAIN IN FULL BLAST OF HIGH, COLD WINDS AND IT STILL SURVIVED.

THE LITTLE TREE HAS NOW BEEN MOVED TO A MORE SHELTERED SPOT IN A NEW GARDEN AND ALREADY TINY BUDS ARE BLOOMING.

AND SO THE TALE ENDS OF THE MAGNOLIA TREE, A TINY SPECK IN THE WHOLE UNIVERSE OF THINGS.

YET IT HAS HOPE AND IT SURVIVES.

WE HOPE YOU WILL ENJOY COMING TO THE MAGNOLIA TREE, WHETHER TO BROWSE, BUY OR CHAT.

 YOU WILL ALWAYS FIND A WARM WELCOME.

SO THATS THE STORY OF HOW THE SHOP GOT ITS NAME.
