Plant A Tree For Baby
This gift symbolizes growth, food, sustainability and life itself. Give baby a tree as a baptism gift. Suitable is a fruit tree such as an apple tree to plant in "baby's" garden. Give the tree in a pot and plant with baby's parents or once the baby is a toddler and can help, too. The little child can see its tree grow and some years later the kid will love to watch the apples grow, harvest them and eat them.
Another suitable tree is a ginkgo tree, also called "tree of life". The ginkgo is native to China and since ancient times has been planted in Japanese and Chinese gardens. It is now valued in many parts of the world. Because of its healing properties, the tree is associated with strength, hope and life.
