Tree planting
For centuries, planting a tree has had a special symbolic meaning. Thus, any significant event in our lives is likely to be a special occasion for which to plant a tree. Births, birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, housewarming parties, etc. The list promises to be a long one, as there is no reason why we can't be creative and add to our traditions.
At Emondage Drummondville, we are constantly amazed by our clients' imaginative tree planting motivations. You should also know that we also find a unique cachet to this service. An ideal tactic for an intimate corner or to attract birds to our garden. Planting a tree can also contribute to decorate our daily life in a soothing way. Of course, you know how much birds love trees. They play in the trees with their charming chirping concerts, have a lot of fun in them, and also hide in them when they feel threatened. We human beings also love these trees! Especially when they are very tall and the shade of their leafy branches is large enough to create a small shady area where it is so nice to relax: To read, to sip a fruity cocktail, just to savor the moment. In fact, there are so many excellent reasons to plant a tree! Reduce your carbon footprint Economic activities are involved behind virtually everything we consume. However, these activities emit too many greenhouse gases. And these emissions produce climate change. We now know this. |

More and more people are therefore keen to reduce the footprint that their daily lives have on the planet. Carbon offsetting is among the possibilities. And planting trees is one of the measures in this category, because plants store some of the carbon in the atmosphere. This motivation is growing as one of the reasons for using our tree-planting services.
A tree as a gift
Are you one of those who never know what to give as a gift? Don't people buy everything as they go along now? Especially since more and more people want to reduce their consumption. Your gift might be relegated to someone else, who knows? It's the durable and non-disposable that is no longer disposable.
So don't look any further: offer a tree and its plantation as a gift.
If you offer something edible, the experience will be short. But trees are invaluable, environmentally, ornamentally, for overall health, and for many years to come. Not to mention the symbolic plan. You won't find anything else so precious and rich in meaning.
And then you know that every time that person to whom you have given a tree looks at it, you will also be present in his or her mind. Except that planting trees is not only a gesture of offering for others, it is also a gesture of offering for yourself.

Why plant trees?
The economic factor
A tree has a special relationship with the value of a property. When an owner wants to sell, he learns it quickly, if he didn't already know it. This is because, as some studies show, a home with trees on its grounds can fetch a price up to 15% higher than comparable opportunities. What's more, it will leave faster. But even if selling is not part of your immediate plans, you might as well prepare yourself in advance and put all the chances on your side, in case the idea makes its way into the future.
Calming factor
Trees have a calming effect for many reasons. They provide a reminder of nature transposed to our urban areas. They are a material of choice in landscaping projects whose aesthetics charm us. The green color of their foliage and its calming impact may also have something to do with it. Also, you won't be surprised that studies have shown that patients hospitalized in rooms with windows overlooking landscapes heal more quickly than those who are not fortunate enough to have a view.
Purifying and regulating the air: other services provided by trees
Among the impressive amount of natural services provided by trees are air purification and temperature control.
The aspect of air purification is possible thanks to the phenomena of photosynthesis and respiration of trees. Thus, during the day, trees produce this oxygen which is indispensable to all living beings. At night, they absorb carbon dioxide, which, on the contrary, is harmful to us.
In addition, trees shelter us from cold or heat by constituting a means of thermal insulation. Indeed, a carefully chosen location can help reduce our heating needs during the cold season, for example. Or, during the summer, trees produce an aura of coolness in which we particularly enjoy bathing, especially in hot weather. What would we do without trees?

Noise and erosion attenuators
The insulation benefits of trees have been discussed above. However, they can also protect us from noise. Their insulating effect goes so far. In hedges of appreciable height and length along highways, they can absorb some of the traffic noise that reaches the surrounding neighborhoods. On another level, trees are part of anti-erosion measures. This is often the case on riverbanks or farmland.
Educational moments with the children
Do you have children, grandchildren or relatives who have children? Then you may well be aware that fruit trees offer special moments with young children or toddlers like no other. Whether it is to observe the transformation from bud to fruit, whether it is to pick the fruit as a family, or to enjoy a juicy fruit sitting outside with your family, whether it is to cook jams or pastries in the presence of children... fruit trees offer a wide range of these wonderful moments of discussion or the simple pleasure of a shared moment. If you wish to maximize fruit production, we recommend that you use our training pruning service.
