Memorial tree gift ideas
Memorial Tree gifts are more than just a gift, they are a symbol of a living spirit, of hope for the future. That though we are on this world for a very short time, that we are profoundly connected to and of it. That the spirit does live on.A memorial tree gift can come in several different forms, it can be wither one that is bought and delivered to the gift recipient, or it can be planted in a specific area, often as part of a reafforestation scheme. These tree gifts are set in groups, so they become an intricate woodland in time, a living environment for nature to thrive in.
The Greeks had a saying in the past, that a civilization has grown great when it plants trees that its grandchildren will be able to sit under and I think this is quiet a sentiment, it really encapsulates the thinking behind a memorial tree gift. These trees become a connection throughout the generations.
Memorial tree gifts can also be ones that are posted in the mail , for you to plant yourself, in a garden, in the wild or in a public park. If you are planting in land that is not your own, it would be best to have the owners approval. I know that many public parks in America are quiet open to the idea of memorial tree gifts being planted in them
Also look at memorial trees that are symbolical to you and the person that they are planted in honour of. Did they have a connection with this country, or maybe Israel, did they have a favourite type of tree. Bear all these things in mind when you are making your decision.
What ever option you go for, I hope that it brings you solace and hope and understanding. Memorial tree gifts are about giving something back to the planet, something that anyone who see’s it can enjoy, that will be a part of nature. That is quiet a gift.
