One of our favorite gifts , good for the gardener, for anyone with a green thumb, or just about anyone else that you love and care for is a tree. Perpetual ways to honor someone exist in the Plant a tree for them method of saying you care.

When my mother passed away unexpectedly in August of this year, being unable to have been there before it happened and unable to get there immediately, I was able at least to honor her. One of her favorite things to do was to walk among the oaks and pines of Pennsylvania.

Petroleum Center, East Titusville, Drake Well, were her favorite places, where even toward the end she gathered up pine cones to make into decorations for the holidays, or just to give away. Pine cone wreaths, wreaths of ground pine, pine cone ornaments which were lovingly decorated were her perfect way to spend a day with kids and grandchildren

To plant a tree in her honor seemed the idea way to say we loved and missed her. Fortunately there was a way to do that.

We planted our own tree in her honor and had several others planted by Tree Givers.
