Planting a tree in honor of my son's birth... where can I get one?

Question

I want to plant a tree in my yard to celebrate my son's birth. Is there a store online that offers this as a service??

Answer 1

You don't want them to come plant it for you, do you?
There are many online nurseries and catalogs also. (Spring Hill Nursery is one off the top of my head)

But I recommend this: Go to Wal-Mart, Lowes, or Home Depot----or a local nursery to purchase one and celebrate your son's birth and your local economy. A local nursery can often plant it for you for a fee to ensure optimal survival and growing conditions. It will also ensure you're getting a tree that is acclimated to your region.

Answer 2

Personally I would do it yourself. As others have mentioned just go to your local nursery and pick out the kind of tree you would like to plant. I'm sure there would be some kind of service available if you don't want to plant it yourself - but really its not a hard task.
18 years ago we planted 3 Blue Spruces - one for each of my 3 boys in the front corner of the yard. They were only small trees at the time but are now about 10 feet tall and a great thing for the boys who still say - *that one is my tree*

Answer 3

I'm not the best source for where to find trees to be planted, but I have an idea for you. I read once about a woman who planted a tree with her parents when she was young and every year, on the same day, they took a picture of her in front of the tree. So they have a timeline of pictures of her and the tree as each grew. Incidentally, one year, in her early twenties, when they were taking her picture, her boyfriend jumped in just before they snapped it and asked her to marry him.

Anyway, I just the picture idea was really cute.

Answer 4

Since you want the tree planted for you, you might want to look at landscaping services.

There are a number of companies that have saplings, such as Henry Field's. Decide what kind of tree you want, then run a google search: You should be able to find out who will sell and ship the saplings like that.

Good luck!

Answer 5

You can pick up a tree just about anywhere, a menards, fleetfarm, walmart. Or a nursery.
Just follow the directions, or ask the nursery for direction and any food or fertilizer.
If you plant it yourself, it will mean more.
Get a small easy to handle, tree, that is for your area. Ask the nursery.

Answer 6

There are surely landscaping and gardening stores near where you live. You can look in the phone book to find where they are. Also, Lowe's, Wal-Mart, Home Depot and similar stores have gardening departments and usually will carry trees.

If you don't want to dig and plant the tree yourself, you can call a landscaper to do it for you, once again...phone book.

Answer 7

If your son has been born already, welcome to the world! If not, you may offer this as a suggestion for a shower gift. You will get lots of clothes etc that he'll grow out of, a tree will be around till he is old and gray.

Answer 8

You can pick up many trees at Nursery's or your local home store - it is better to buy locally so you can be assured of proper care and that your tree is good for your climate. Good Luck!

Answer 9

You can get a young tree at any nursery; if it were me, I would want to plant it myself, but if you want someone else to do it, then I'm sure there are any number of lawn/garden caretakers whom you could pay to do it.
