My Secret Santa dedicated a tree to me from my favorite local charity, Casey Trees! Casey Trees' mission is to restore, enhance, and protect the tree canopy of Washington, DC. Trees not only impact the look of a neighborhood, they increase the quality of life for those living there. They attract native wildlife, they increase the air quality, and they generally make a neighborhood feel nicer. Casey Trees plants trees in tree boxes in every ward of DC, from the richest to the poorest, and my Secret Santa helped with their generous donation!

Additionally, my Secret Santa planted my tree at Kenilworth Garden, an incredible aquatic garden very close to my neighborhood. They also planted a variety of pine that will be a wonderful tree to visit, and a great addition to the park.

This gift is so perfect for me I thought for sure my wife had made the donation. I appreciate it very much! Check back in February and I'll update with a photo of my tree.
