We’ve Gone From the Giving Tree to the Given Tree
I remember my mother reading The Giving Tree
Now there’s Treegivers.com to allow you to give a tree. They suggest giving a tree for special events, such as birthdays, weddings, holidays and of course memorials.
It’s an interesting concept for the environmentalist among your friends or family, but one that would probably frustrate some people. You don’t know where your tree gets planted exactly, although you can select a state. No identification marks the tree or anything else, so the recipient won’t get to visit the tree. Generally these are planted in areas they aren’t encouraging the public to visit anyhow, in order to encourage natural growth.
Obviously this is not a gift for just anyone. But some people will tremendously appreciate the thought and the gesture of having a tree planted. You just have to know what they will love.
