How to Plant a Tree in the 21st Century

If you’ve got a sapling in one hand and a digging tool in the other, here’s how, thanks to American Forests.

This is one of two organizations I’ve found that will also plant trees to celebrate a rite of passage or commemorate a loved one. That’s my idea of gift giving. Really, is there a better way to honor your mom, a bride and groom, or a graduate?

I’m not simply reliving Earth Day memories; my Dad will be 82-years-old on April 19. Trees seem a fitting tribute. American Forests provides a range of services and tree-planting support. The National Arbor Foundation also has a tree gift certificate.
