Greenpop will plant it on behalf of your special Valentine in an under-greened community and we’ll also send an e-card with the GPS coordinates of your love tree – you can then forward this to your love on the 14th Feb. Grow the love this February!

NB: After you have purchased your trees, please email info@greenpop.org with your name and the name of your Valentine (or the name you want your e-card to say) so we can make up the cards with GPS coordinates and send them to you via email!

“We realised that planting trees was not so much about the sapling, but about the community. We were joining a cross-cultural movement, offsetting carbon emissions, meeting new people, and greening an underprivileged area.”

“On these days, beneficiaries are not only bequeathed with trees, but are taught how to care for them and the fundamentals of biodiversity. In addition to Mitchells Plain – Plumstead, Retreat, Gugulethu and Khayelitsha have already benefited, as have Athlone, Nyanga, Vrygrond and Masiphumelele.”
