Green Gifting Thru Reforestation

Trees have many uses beyond their important role in carbon sequestration. Trees offer shelter, filter water, cleanse the air of pollution, help prevent soil erosion as well as providing animal habitat and scenic beauty. We all desire abundant forests for our children and grandchildren. Together we can make a difference.

Trees In Trust enables you to quickly and easily dedicate a piece of forest to give as a gift, as a memorial or to reduce your carbon footprint. You don't own the trees, but they are held in your name forever by a not-for-profit charitable land trust which protects the woodland in perpetuity.

Bonsai Trees and Topiaries

Bonsai Trees Make Delightful Gifts

Bonsai trees have often been thought to have originated from Japan. However, records of more than 2,000 years old show that bonsai trees have been growing in China, not only as part of landscapes, but also in shallow containers. Approximately 1,500 years ago, Bonsai trees were first grown individually after being collected from mountainous regions. Bonsai trees can be seen on many ancient Chinese line drawings. It was several centuries later that the Japanese began to grow and train the trees in pots. The Chinese and Japanese styles of Bonsai are very different. The Chinese styles are more freeform and mainly trained by pruning, and the Japanese styles are particularly groomed and shaped, making them appear more natural.

The translation of bonsai growing is “plant in a tray”. It is a satisfying hobby which combines both horticulture and art. Bonsai trees are typically described as “living sculptures”.

Fruit Trees

Fruit Trees

Have you considered the benefits of planting your own fruit trees? You will have fresh, organic fruit; yours for the picking. With your own trees you know exactly how the fruit was grown; no toxic chemicals, sprays or wax.

Fruit trees benefit the environment by filtering the air, conditioning the soil and providing habitat for wildlife. Fruit trees, while offering shade and shelter, also attract butterflies and bird to your yard. They grace the area with their beauty; delicately scented blossoms in the spring, vibrant foliage in the fall.

Fruit trees offer an excellent return for the effort of planting them. Several species of trees, with different harvest times, can bring fruit to your family table several months of every year.

Planting fruit trees is a fun way to be frugal. Over a ten year span, organic plums, pears and apples, freshly picked from your own trees, will cost less than a penny a piece. Think of the savings as compared to the high market prices for organic produce.

The first sweet, succulent and flavorful bite of fruit you planted and have grown yourself is very satisfying to the gardeners soul. I wish you the joy of planting and a bountiful harvest. 

A fruit tree can live for more than forty years and produce more than 10,000 pounds of fruit. A tree truly gives life. Apples are one of the most popular fruit tree choices and an apple tree can produce up to 500 apples in a season. Consider planting pear, plum, cherry, apricot, orange, lime or lemon trees. Research what will grow well in your local area, plant and enjoy an organic crop grown in harmony with nature. Nothing tastes sweeter!

Most of the cut flowers sold in the United States are grown in Central and Latin America, Africa and China. Foreign industrial flower farms use large quantities of toxic pesticides banned in the US or use chemicals far in excess of US regulations. Excessive use of these noxious poisons have significant impact on both the workers and the environment. Chemicals get in the workers' lungs and on their skin, are carried home to their families on their clothing. Pesticides seep into the ground contaminating soil and water supplies and contribute to ozone depletion.

We do not have to contribute to this problem when we choose organic. Certified organic floriculture does not utilize dangerous pesticides, thus creating a healthier environment for the people who grow them and healthier for the people who purchase and enjoy them.

Emotional Appeal of Flowers and Colors

Think Spring - Butterflies & Garden Delights 

When we think back on all the occasions of our lives, be it something as grand as a wedding, or a graduation, or a birthday, or even something as mundane as a trip to the hospital, or a date with a loved one, flowers were surely present. Whether they came in a huge bundle of carnations and tulips and roses, or whether it was just in a form of a single red rose, there seems to be just the right kind of flower for every mood. And it seems that all life’s momentous occasions, flowers are involved for a very good reason - flowers carry potent emotional messages.

Experts have long ago concluded that the emotional appeal of flowers is a reality. Flowers really do strike a chord in the recesses of our emotional and psychological well-being. A whiff of a fragrance of any flower arrangement can immediately uplift our senses the way no other object can.

However, it is perhaps the dazzling array of colors, hues, shades in a flower arrangement that holds the emotional appeal of flowers for every one of us, regardless of age or gender. Psychologists have attested to the power of color in our lives, and there’s no more beautiful image of a gathering of colors than the image of an excellent flower arrangement. It seems as if the colors of flowers appeal to the vast arsenal of emotions to help us choose which flower arrangement can best express our feelings. Indeed, just the mere presence of flowers can heighten feelings of happiness and ultimately affect behavior.

In fact, a team of researchers even explored the connections between flowers and life satisfaction. This 10-month research shows that flowers have an immediate effect on happiness, that flowers have a long-term positive effect on moods and that flowers help form and develop intimate connections. The emotional appeal of flowers, it seems, extends all the way to our mental and emotional well-being.

Flowers can help restore a sense of peace and calm in times of stress. The emotional appeal of flowers truly lies in the color of the flower. Yellow calls to mind a bright, sunny day. Yellow flowers are often the focal point in a flower arrangement, as yellow also reminds us of the stars glowing in the pitch-black night. A somewhat more neutral color is green. The emotional appeal of green flowers lies in the fact that green flowers stand for good fortune, perhaps because it also seems to remind us of money.

Blue flowers symbolize peace.

We can invite all sorts of emotions using just about any color of the rainbow. Red stands for energy, passion and seduction. Red flowers, especially those which come with rich and fragrant aromas are perfect for igniting romance and rekindling love. Flowers which have the orange hue recall fresh citrus fruits. Dark orange reminds us of sunsets or the flames of a fire. Mixed with other hues, orange flowers and blues, especially those in soft, pale hues, can offer tranquility for both the mind and body.

Those looking for more luxury and elegance in their flower arrangements should consider the color violet. The emotional appeal of flowers that come in shades of purple and violet are due to the fact that purples and violets are quite sensuous colors. They also stand for sophistication and passion and are also therefore perfect for those special occasions. Flowers - Nature’s emotional messengers.
