How many of you lovely people out there have a tree planted in memory of a loved one?

When we lost our mother in the year 2000, my sister and her husband had a tree planted in the Yorkshire Dales on behalf of the family so that our mum would live on in a beautiful place.



My friend planted a clematis in her garden for her dog Lady. Whether it be a pet or a person they are all precious.

How many of you lovely people out there have a tree planted in memory of a loved one?
My best freind for 26yrs was accidently killed in a car crash, and his most favourite trees were Oaks. When he died , i planted 33 Oak trees in a circle on my land , which was one of his most favourite places to sit as there is a big lake there. I planted a tree for every year he was on this planet and that was nearly 20 years ago. There is a seat there and i go there without fail every other day in his memory. We have even had parties there for him to keep his spirit alive. I tended and nurtured the trees from day 1 and they are doing magnificiently... if only my friend was alive to see them.......
Reply:back in the year 1975 we had a teacher that loved our men in the Vietnam prisons, POW, so much that she started a campaign for people to give 5 dollars to buy a magnolia. this also included a bracelet that had one POW's name on it. whenever a POW got out or escaped back to the UNITED STATES, you sent the bracelet back to the owner or family. then a magnolia was planted on the entrance of the state of Mississippi. i was glad to have been a part of this. i was also one day watching TV and saw the man i had step off of the airplane. i went the next day, with that teacher, and planted my tree. so whenever you come into the state of Mississippi and see the magnolia trees on the side of the road think on our men and women that have and are still going threw things that we never can imagine
Reply:My mother used to love the line of red %26amp; green crotons planted in Malaysia. So we have planted a lot of red %26amp; green crotons planted in front of our house in Thiruvannamalai, India. We have a big garden, in front of our house - in about 75 cents of land, where we havwe planted a lot of trees, roses , hibiscus, jasmine %26amp; other plants.
Reply:We have a tree in my mum's memory, she died in 2001. Whenever we go away we bring something back to hang on the branches. The tree is full of wind chimes and surrounded by pixies and fairies. Mum always believed in the 'little folk'.

My late cats have bushes and shrubs planted over their resting places.

I think it is a lovely idea as I have somewhere special to go when I want to remember the good times.
Reply:yes we as a family have planted two for my dad and nana, both in a garden of a children's hospice, they supply the tree of your choice and then part of the money you pay goes to the hospice so it benefits them both with funds and a nice garden for the families to use.....i also planted a bush in my garden in memory of my dog toby too ........ :)
Reply:Every time a member of our family or a friend passes away we plant something in our garden in memory of them.

There are some lovely projects around, like the tree planting, to comemorate the life of a loved one which I think is a lovely idea. x
Reply:We planted a walnut tree in memory of my dad (he had a bit of an obsession with walnuts) and we sprinkled his ashes in the hole before the tree went in so that he would become part of the tree in a way.

That seemed like the most appropriate way to remember him.
Reply:we did for my grandad...well, the town did....he was mayor of a little village in Galway so they dedicated a bench and a tree in the park to him....it was lovely...everytime we walk passed it, we always stop and say a prayer for him...
Reply:That is a lovely thought and I have been meaning to do that someday.
Reply:We planted an apple tree in our yard when my mum in law passed away in 2004 ...she was famous for her apple pies and we loved her dearly..the tree today is really lovely and my daughter simply loves it...
Reply:No but after finding out of my mates recent passing it sounds like a good way to honour them, though I don't know what plant/tree could summarise/represent him! :) :(
