About Me

Moving is hard on everyone – trust me, I know. I've moved two dozen times if not more. However, as a lover of nature, I also know moving can be hard on trees. My name is Margaret, and I love saplings. I have nursed many seeds into saplings and given them to friends, but I've seen some of these gifts whither and die. I don't want anyone to feel the profound sadness of losing a tree. When you plant a new tree, you dream of it growing, shading your family as you picnic, holding your tree houses and giving homes to squirrels and birds. When a tree dies, you lose those dreams. To help avoid that, I wanted to create a blog about moving trees and other tree advice.

Trees are good in so many different ways. They provide shade on hot days and help to cool the surrounding environment.

In addition, trees help to prevent soil erosion by keeping the soil intact through their deep root systems. They are also home to different species of birds, insects and small animals.
