Photos from people who planted a Sugar Maple Tree from Veggie Feist 2017

Here are some great photos and stories that people have sent in. They tell the story of the impact of the sugar maple seedlings better than I possibly could! Check back every so often, as I will add more photos at the end, as they come in.

First, I wanted to include this note from Phyllis B. because it really shows how good deeds can sometimes have a ripple affect!

Good morning Sandy, planting of Maple Trees is such a wonderful idea.  I gave my plant to a young lady and her to young sons.  I was standing in line and over heard her talking to her sons how she wish she had gotten one for them. (They were all gone)  I was planning to take my tree back to CA with me.  So instead I shared it with them.

Thank you,

Phyllis B.

They still have their tattoos from Veggie Fest!

We received the seedling on Saturday at the Veggie Fest and planted it the next day on Sunday. We planted it in our back yard in Naperville. We put chicken wire around it to protect it from the rabbits. ☺ Thank you! Lori — We received the seedling on Saturday at the Veggie Fest and planted it the next day on Sunday.

Hello , thanks for the maple tree. Our seedling is planted in the back of our home in Hobson Oaks in Naperville, Illinois. In the future we hope it will provide shade and a beautiful orange canopy. — Thanks for the maple tree. Our seedling is planted in the back of our home in Hobson Oaks in Naperville, Illinois.
