A POEM


"What does he plant who plants a tree.
He plants, in sap and leaf and wood,
In love of home and loyalty,
And far-cast thought of civic good
His blessing on the neighborhood."

~Charles Lathrop Pack~

  9. Hi Denise,
    wonderful silhouette of the tree and lovely words, we have planted numerous trees on our land and around, even two Giant Redwoods. Where would we be without these wonderful trees.
    All the best, John
