This type of gift will give shade, beauty, and joy to generations of boys for decades to come. Some may choose to purchase a tree and bring it to Boys Farm themselves, and some wish to send money and allow Boys Farm to purchase and plant the tree. All gifts given in honor or memory
are recorded and a the one honored or the family of the one being memorialized receive notification of the special gift.
