Planting a tree with your kids is a fantastic way to learn about nature, do something good for the the environment that you’ll be able to enjoy for decades, and just spend some time together having fun.
First, buy a small tree and find a location with plenty of room for your size tree. We chose a flowering dogwood.
Next, dig a hole twice the size of your root ball. Soak your tree in water for a bit to give it a good drink.
Take a moment to rest and enjoy your work so far.
When you set your tree, the top of the root ball should be level with the ground or slightly above ground. Scoop the dirt back in the hole and use a little to create sort of a bowl around it which will help hold in rain water.
Make sure your tree is straight, step back and admire your work.
