Give A Tree for a Friend!
Honor a friend or loved one by planting a tree in their honor or mark celebrations of achievements, memorials and milestones.
TreesDurham plants trees from October through March. Gift tree requests can be submitted at any time, and cards/acknowledgements are sent within days. If a request is received after the planting season, we will schedule the planting for the upcoming planting season.
Species selection and tree location are subject to the discretion of TreesDurham’s arborist. Many locations are subject to the approval of the property owner and/or community members.
Physical markers (such as signs or granite markers) are not always allowed and subject to the discretion of the property owner.
