Give Back To Nature With TreeGreetings, By Melody Schubert

Finding the perfect thank you or holiday gift can be a challenge any time of the year. When searching for a gift, we want something that shows how much we care, and expresses how much our family and friends mean to us. We also want a gift that will be cherished and is less likely to end up in a yard sale. Now we've found a way to give to those we love and help nature at the same time; TreeGreetings.

“I call it ‘eForestation’”, said Ilan Shamir, founder and CEO of Your True Nature, Inc., which markets the TreeGreetings electronic products.  “I was given a tree for my 11th birthday and I was so touched by this amazing gift that I wanted to make it a ‘breeze’ for others to have a tree planted for a birthday, wedding anniversary, Christmas, Hanukkah, new baby celebration and other occasions.  TreeGreetings seemed the perfect vehicle to combine remembering others with providing a valuable environmental service.”

TreeGreetings takes electronic greetings to a new and innovative level by combining the fun, ease and immediate gratification of electronic greeting cards with the life-affirming gift of planting a tree for someone special.  And, you can personalize your TreeGreetings and offer a keepsake certificate. We just select our favorite eCards, which plant an 18” – 36” flower, shade, fruit or evergreen tree. There are a variety of greeting options include beautiful musical slide shows of original nature photography combined with inspirational messages or several contemporary interactive graphic designs.  

Once our eCard is sent our friends and family can view their animated eCards, take a tour of the actual site where the trees will be planted and can immediately print off full color personalized certificates suitable for framing. This makes a unique gift that keeps giving and won't end up in a yard sale!

The actual tree plantings are through well-established non-profit organizations including internationally recognized Trees, Water & People, who has planted 1.2 million trees in Central America; and evergreens are being planted in the U.S. by Plant-It 2020, a foundation created by John Denver.  Trees are planted in locations with ideal growing conditions, local community involvement and important aftercare for the trees.
