Gift Tree Program
Trees make beautiful gifts for any occasion. Purchase a tree to commemorate a birth, a marriage, or the impact a loved on has made on your life. Give a tree to honor your memories of your children playing in a park. Give the comfort of hope in the future to a person who has lost a loved one. Inscribe your tree’s stone with the words of your choice; consider planning a dedication ceremony to accompany your gift. All Gift Trees will be planted throughout the Anderson Parks system. Your Gift Tree will not only commemorate something special to you and the recipient, it will also keep our city shaded, protected, and beautiful far into the future!
