Plant a Tree for Friendship – or Father’s Day

A tree is a gift given many times over. Not just the giving of the tree itself, but also the time spent planting it together, and years and years of enjoyment as it grows!

During the early years of Rotary International, its founder, Paul Harris, traveled the globe, fostering world peace and understanding. To create living memorials to these new friendships, he commemorated his visits by planting Friendship Trees. Harris planted approximately 50 Friendship Trees during his lifetime, many of which are still standing.

Planting a tree as a tribute is a great idea. Because trees grow, add beauty, and enhance the environment for many years to come, they are ideal for commemorating love and friendship. And they make great gifts for those hard-to-buy-for family members. To select the right tree for your tribute, think about site conditions, your goals for the planting, and the species type that suits you aesthetically.
