It’s an incredible opportunity to honor a loved one. The honorary plaque can express your commemoration and will be shared with the community for years to come.
Businesses also gain positive exposure for the company or organization by sponsoring a tree. The plaque can bear your business or organization name, address, and phone number. Those that pass by your tree will know you are dedicated to community improvement and will appreciate the shade.
