Give a memory somewhere to grow.
Mark a life, a relationship, or a moment with something living that changes with every season.
A living legacy
Plant one native tree in honor of someone you love, for your family, or for the people who will come after you. A tree gives memory a place to live — and the future something real to inherit.
Mark a life, a relationship, or a moment with something living that changes with every season.
A native tree adds shade, habitat, beauty, and resilience to the place where its roots take hold.
Plant an act of care that can benefit families, neighbors, wildlife, and people you may never meet.
A tree can hold a story
A living tree can carry remembrance, gratitude, family history, and hope forward without asking the story to stand still.
Create a memorial or tribute tree that gives remembrance a living presence — a place to return to, care for, and watch grow.
Choose a resilient native species and a thoughtful site so the tree becomes part of the local landscape, not just a symbol.
Give future generations shade, habitat, beauty, and one quiet reminder that someone cared enough to plant ahead.
Four simple steps
Start with the reason. DIG helps you move from intention to a healthy tree in the ground.
Plant as a memorial, a family tribute, a future gift, or simply because the place needs another tree.
Select a resilient native species and review sunlight, soil, space, and utilities before planting.
Plant it yourself with DIG guidance or choose crew installation for hands-on support.
Follow first-year care guidance to help the tree establish after planting day.
Where the mission began
When Dawne passed, Joey and the boys chose to answer loss with something living. They picked up shovels, planted a native tree, and gave remembrance a place to take root.
That personal act became a wider invitation: plant for someone you love, for the people beside you now, and for the people who will stand beneath that tree years from today.
A memory does not have to end at remembrance. It can become shade, habitat, beauty, and new life.
Choose what the tree will mean
Start with the reason that feels true. The planting can grow from there.
