Sometimes you can derive such pleasure from a gardening task to the point where you feel guilty.  One such garden task is planting trees – not only is a tree an extremely useful addition to supporting the environment, a tree offers shade, can be ornamental, and will have a beautiful display of flowers in the spring.  The sheer pleasure of watching your tree grow makes all the gardening worth it. 

Choose a location where the tree can flourish to maturity without the hindrance of electric or telephone wires (Nothing more painful than watching a tree hacked by the electric company) or a tree planted too close to house where its roots upset the houses foundation. 

A well grown tree gives an air of maturity to a garden, adding height and depth.  Trees are the best memorial.  They grow steadily- a constant beautiful reminder of child who would have watched the tree grow if they had been here.
