PLANT A TREE MEMORIAL
A Lasting Tribute

Tree Memorial

"If you seek my   monument, look around   you."    ~Arbor Day founder,         J. Sterling Morton

Plant a memorial tree in memory of your lost loved one...

In planting a tree, you are giving the gift of life back to the earth. This can be a most honorable and appropriate gift of remembrance.

A vibrant, beautiful tree benefits everyone... now and for future generations to come. For this reason, a tree provides a wonderful symbol of the continuance of life while benefiting the earth. Install a bronze plaque with his or her name on it to keep their memory alive for all who see it.


                           


Good choices for a tree memorial:

• Oak- the mighty symbol of strength
• Flowering dogwood- a beloved and beautiful accent tree
• Ginkgo- the classic "memory" tree
• Japanese red maple- a striking accent beauty

                           


These two kits provide the materials necessary to start your own memorial tree from seed. One of them would make a great project to involve bereaved children, from the starting of seed to the planting of the new tree in a garden ceremony that they help plan.

Seeds of Life Oak Tree Kit                  $29.95

Ginkgo Tree-to-Be                    $39.95
