My goal for this month is to go out, but a tree, go to someplace secluded like up in the mountains near where I live, plant it, and call it my Hometree. It will be my Hometree, and I will tend and take care of it. I will watch it grow and I will be proud of it, and hopefully in years to come I'll come back to my Hometree and see it in a big spectacular state, something to be proud of and show off to my lifemate, children, and maybe even my grandchildren. It will be a reminder of the life changing milestone event in my life. It will be my retreat when I need time to myself to go sit by my tree and think.

Who else would join me by planting their own Hometree in their area? I would love to see others join me in this I will post pictures when I do do it

i would LOVE to do that, but im not sure how my mom would react if i asked to buy a tree...

That's actually a really great idea. I may have to plant one somewhere while I am out in the wild this summer

i will, but i will plant it in the yard

That does sound like a good idea Stanley_9875, might just do that when school is over this week

I will Most definatley be doing this! and I will be posting pictures

I want to, but where do I put it? I fear that the city may cut down the tree I use atm to cast me away into my other world (long story). If they kill that tree, I'm going to plant a new one there, even if I move out of the state in the distant future.

Ewya save that tree, I'm really afraid for that tree. It's an extremely important symbol to me, when I'm in a corner with no place to turn, I look out my window and see.

Don't put it in the city then ma tsmukan? put it somewhere sacred!

Yes, I have a somewhat similar issue. I would absolutely love to do this, but the only wilderness I have near me is part owned by a water company, part privately owned and all the rest of the land surrounding it is farmland... I'm already trespassing when I go there to meditate.

I would absolutely love to do this though, I think it's a fantastic idea. Maybe if I go far enough into the back of the woods, there will be a spot secluded enough to do it...

I live up against a decent sized wooded area. Behind my house lies a small ravine that has a stream flowing just at the bottom, with a few small ponds. On the other side of this ravine lies the property owners, and I wonder if perhaps I could find their phone # and give them a call, asking if I could plant a tree of my own back their...I know a perfect spot for it =). Definitely something I'll look into.

That's a great idea. I really would like to join. If I do it, I'll let you know.

For sure, I'd love to hear all of you, who can, do this... even if it's as close as your backyard. If you live in the city, take a few minutes out of your weekend to go out and find a secluded place outside the city. I'm going to go out tree shopping this Saturday hopefully, I'll keep you updated and keep us updated!

I wish I could, but there's no place where I can do it: my nearest garden is property of the community and parks are public. I live in a flat, and there's also no way to get out the city by myself, so...

I'd love to, but I can't

I wish I could do it but there is no place around here for me to plant a tree. I live in an apartment complex and they have their own landscaping company so there are trees everywhere but I don't think they would allow someone to buy a tree and plant it. However, I would like to eventually get a small shelf garden, maybe plant herbs, etc but I don't have time . Its a good idea though.

Like i said, it can be anywhere, do you know of a place outside of where you live or your city thats pretty secluded?
