[edit] History
Tree2mydoor was founded by University of Teesside graduate, Gareth Mitchell. After spending three years developing the concept of sending trees as gifts, Gareth launched Tree2mydoor during National Tree Week in November 2003. In 2004, Tree2mydoor received the Gift of the Year Award and was a finalist in the 2004 Startups Awards for Best Online Business of the Year.[1][2]

Tree2mydoor directly supports conservation projects in the United Kingdom and around the world.[3] A section on the company's website details its programs on charitable work and its contributions to the sustainability movement. Tree2mydoor describes itself as being "a good company" with a positive effect on the environment and people's lives.
