Adopting an Olive Tree from Greek Groves

 

Background

Greek Groves consists of a team of people passionate about olive trees and oil. Their aim is to try and prevent the further destruction of beautiful ancient groves for development.

To help protect the olives and encourage people to share in the olive oil experience they offer two great destinations for you to adopt your olive tree from: Corfu and Crete:

Crete

The olive grove here is located in the gorge of Rouvas - a ravine at the base of Mount Psiloritis. A stream and a great taverna are both nearby, as is the E4 trekking route which runs almost the length of Crete.

Corfu

Here in 'Esme's Grove' tall very old trees grow on the north coast of the island near the village of Agrafi. These trees were saved from destruction by the adoption scheme.

Price

£50 - your adopted tree comes with a personal certificate with your tree information, plus a bottle of organic olive oil.

Notes

  • You are very welcome to visit your trees - both locations are set in timeless Greek landscapes.  
  • Buy adopting a tree you will also be offsetting carbon emissions.  

 

If you fancy a LOT of trees you can also buy your own olive grove for as little as £5000!

The mist is rising from the valley as we walk down to the olive grove.  In the distance the sound of the church bells rings out.  We spread the nets around the tree - keeping them close to the trunk to make sure the olives don't fall through and get lost onto the ground below!
