There are few more epic ways to celebrate a birth, birthday, wedding, or anniversary than with the planting of a majestic tree in Ireland which your children, grandchildren and their descendants can admire in the unseen generations to come. A beautiful, majestic tree is a living memorial of life-changing events. Its strength, long lifespan, and regal stature give it a monument-like quality and make it a powerful tribute to a life well lived or an occasion worthy of celebration. Honor or celebrate someone dear to you by planting a living, growing tree in Ireland in his or her name—a unique Irish gift to be treasured forever. We will notify the recipient of this very personalized gift by sending him or her a beautifully illustrated certificate bearing your own individual message. This tree, planted by the Lisnavagh Timber Project in partnership with Ever Irish Gifts' own Roots in Ireland, will be located on the Lisnavagh Estate in Rathvilly, County Carlow, Ireland. Because sustainability and regeneration of the Irish woodlands is of critical importance, this tree, planted as a young ash, oak, or beech sapling, will contribute to maintaining and repopulating the country's forestry, helping to keep Ireland green and providing satisfaction for future generations in years to come.
