Looking for the holiday gift that gives back?

By Emma Gray

Does your gift list this year include someone who loves trees or plants? How about someone who cares deeply about the environment? Perhaps you know a  young person with too many toys to count? Is there someone you’d like to spend time with, who would appreciate a gift that gives you both a chance to spend time together?

If the answer to any of these questions is ‘Yes,’ then I have the perfect gift idea for you! A Gift Tree from Friends of Trees.

When you purchase a Gift Tree, Friends of Trees will plant a young native tree in honor of anyone you choose: a loved one, a business client, a friend. The tree becomes part of a vital restoration effort near Forest Park, and we  send a personalized card on your behalf acknowledging the generous gift that you made.

But it gets better. Twice a year when we plant the Gift Trees, anyone who bought or received a Gift Tree is invited to come out and plant it with us if they are able. It’s a wonderful morning of planting trees and celebrating nature and life with the people we care about.

This year consider giving a gift that gives back. A gift that gives more as it grows. A gift of a tree.

Click here to order now! All Gift Trees ordered by December 19 will arrive in time for Christmas.
