All trees were supplied by George Beckett Nurseries, and were donated by funeral directors Nigel Guilder Limited on Hursley Road.

The trees were decorated by various church and local groups, including the Scout District, Afternoon Guild, Girlguiding, The Mothers’ Union, Flower Arrangers, Friends of Liuli, the Parish church’s clergy team, Kumon maths, and St. Boniface Choir.

The Afternoon Guild is a friendly social group, who meets on the second Monday of the month at St. Martin in the Wood church. This is their tree sharing a great variety of their events, from bee keeping, astronomy, family history, coin collecting, photography, music, to philosophy.
