I always wanted do something for the environment, but it was more or less confined only to thoughts. Until Grow-Trees came along, that is. I have used Grow-Trees extensively for both personal and professional purposes – to gift trees to family members on their birthdays, to commemorate the initiation of a new client relationship, to welcome onboard new employees, to congratulate the achievement of a colleague and also to offer condolence to the wife and family of a untimely deceased childhood friend.
Irrespective of the purpose of the gift, the response that I have received clearly is an indicator of the strong impact this simple action of online tree-plantation has made on the minds, nay heart, of the recipient. Thank you, Grow-Trees, for making an impact on SO many lives!! Please keep up the good show!

Gifting trees to employees on their birthday was a refreshing change for them. Employees found tree plantation to be a symbolic and emotionally rewarding experience.
The professional manner in which the ordering of trees and its distribution was done, made the option even more attractive and the process easy to execute.
I would recommend Grow-Trees as a great employee motivational tool – plus, think of all the good karma you attract!

It is always a deep rooted satisfaction to do our bit for our environment and planting trees is a great feeling. We should strive towards a greener planet and protect it for our future generations and that's the reason plant more trees. Grow-Trees has been an innovative and amazing association with things getting done online very easily without any hassle. The recipients of the certificates are elated and surprised with this out of the box idea. I will surely recommend Grow-Trees to everyone as it is high time we all take out few minutes from our busy schedules and contribute for Mother Nature.

PATNI has used Grow-Trees for Diwali and New Year Greetings. My Diwali greeting communications went out last week and I must tell you that the positive reaction from the recipients has been phenomenal. You rarely expect a reply to a Diwali greeting but the recipients have been writing back appreciating the gesture in no uncertain terms and praising PATNI for taking this step. I should add that this was mostly an India mail list. I expect a much greater favorable response when the Christmas / New Year greetings go out to the foreign audience.
Congratulations! and my compliments on thinking and implementing this wonderful idea.
Good Luck.

I have been sending close friends flowers for special occasions like birthdays and anniversaries for many years now.
It has always struck me that flowers are often expensive to buy and deliver and last at the very most for three days. Also my personal experience is that one receives so many flowers and gifts on a special day that it is often hard to find place for them, which leads to a terrible waste.
Grow-Trees has allowed me to send the gift of trees to friends instead, which is more meaningful and benefits us all.
My experience with Grow-Trees has been extremely good, and I would recommend the service to anyone looking to make a statement about the environment while gifting. The service is efficient and very easy to use.
Best of all, the response from recipients has been extremely heartwarming. People who have everything don't need more things. By growing trees in their name one is able to express affection as well as do something concrete for the environment. My friends are delighted!
