We kindly ask our guests that instead of bringing flowers to help us plant a tree! We have joined with the Aeris Futuro Foundation to remember this special moment with something that will live on. In lieu of flowers, you may contribute to the Foundation, which plants trees across Europe. We will have a special box just for donations to the Foundation. The money you offer will be used to buy several new trees in the name of "The Barnetts' wedding guests" in a place called "The Woods of Lovers" in Zawoja. Come fall, you will be invited to join us in planting those trees. Thank you for making a greener, better world!

Kochanych gości serdecznie prosimy, by nie przynosili kwiatów - zamiast kwiatów, prosimy o ... drzewa :-) Chętni Goście będą mieli możliwość złożyć datek na rzecz Fundacji Aeris Futuro, która zajmuje się między innymi zalesianiem. Drzewka, które zakupimy za Wasze pieniądze zostaną posadzone w Lasku Zakochanych w Zawoi - zaprosimy Was jesienią na wspólne sadzenie! Dziękujemy!

food for thought:

The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The next best time is now.
-Chinese Proverb

The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit.
-Nelson Henderson

For in the true nature of things, if we rightly consider, every green tree is far more glorious than if it were made of gold and silver.
-Martin Luther

Trees are the earth's endless effort to speak to the listening heaven.
-Rabindranath Tagore, Fireflies, 1928

The best part of happiness is the pines.
-Terri Guillemets

Trees are much like human beings and enjoy each other's company.  Only a few love to be alone.
-Jens Jensen, Siftings, 1939

I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
-Joyce Kilmer, "Trees," 1914
