Tribute Trees - A new trend in celebrating loved ones

Tribute trees are trees planted in memory of someone who has passed away. These trees can be planted in a garden, a park, or through special tribute tree programs that help plant trees in forests or public spaces. Some families also add a small plaque or message next to the tree, making it a quiet place to visit and reflect.
