Home and business owners agree... trees do more than provide shade. They add warmth, vitality and charm when selected, planted and maintained with care.
A key to success is planting trees which can successfully grow in the soil you have, so soil testing is a good idea. Also, plant a variety of species to prevent a total loss of your investment from insects or disease.
Curb Appeal
If you have limited space, plant trees suitable for your situation — ones with moderate maximum heights and widths. Larger spaces benefit from larger trees befitting the area. Long-lasting "curb appeal" happens only with good planning!
Give a Tree... a Gift of Life.
Celebrate the birth of a new life or two lives joined together in marriage, a birthday or anniversary. Memorialize the life of someone who has passed away.
In times of sorrow and times of joy, you can give a positive gift — a living gift — A TREE!
Planting a tree is a meaningful way to remember and celebrate the lives of the people we love.
Suitability
A gift of a tree is suitable for memorials, graduations, birthdays, anniversaries and for any life passage or achievement you want to celebrate or honor — including your own. You can dedicate a tree in your own name.
When you contribute, we will plant a tree and place a plaque commemorating your contribution.
“I never before knew the full value of trees. Under them I breakfast, dine, write, read, and receive my company.”
