How it Works

Thoughtfully simple for you, deeply meaningful for them.

Your part: Creating the gift

Step 1: Choose your tree size and packaging.

Select from a range of size-and-packaging combinations, from small saplings in burlap or linen bags to larger pre-potted saplings.

Step 2: Pick the perfect gift tag.

Choose a gift tag with words that truly mark the occasion, whether it’s a memorial, wedding, birthday, or another milestone.

Step 3: Write a personal message.

We print your words on a keepsake card that accompanies your Little Saps gift.

Step 4: Enter the recipient’s address.

Tell us where to send it and we’ll take it from there, carefully packing and shipping your gift so it arrives safely at their door.

Our part: Bringing it to life

Step 1: Select a tree.

Based on your recipient’s growing region, we choose the right tree from nearly a dozen varieties grown on our farm.

Step 2: Thoughtful assembly.

Each element of the Little Saps gift is prepared with care and packed in a gift box that is both beautiful and secure. Tree care instructions are included.

Step 3: Direct delivery.

Shipped from our farm to their door by UPS Ground or USPS Priority, usually in 2 to 5 business days, depending on the destination.

Step 4: Ongoing support.

Our team is here to answer questions and share care tips. If your tree is not thriving within 30 days and we cannot help, we will send a new one.
