"Available at: ArborDay.org What I think: When you become a member of The Arbor Day Foundation for only $10, you get a bunch of extras, including 10 free trees! Yes, that&amp;#039;s right - they will ship 10, 6&amp;quot;-12&amp;quot; plants with step-by-step planting instructions when you join. No yard? No problem - you can have them shipped elsewhere, like a house of worship. All tree hugging aside, I have to admit that getting 10 free trees for a membership fee of only $10 is very tempting. Especially after the fiasco I had this past spring at a local garden center.  Not knowing what kind of trees would be good to replace a couple we lost last winter to snow storms, I consulted the experts at a local garden center. Came home with two trees they told me would grow &amp;quot;incredibly fast&amp;quot; for $24.95 each. It&amp;#039;s a good thing I only got two because they both died within 2 weeks. Frustrating, because I did everything right - except choosing a garden center! ;) No refunds, no replacements. Ugh. And I&amp;#039;ve still got empty spots in the yard (and an even emptier wallet!). So I&amp;#039;m sending in my $10 membership right now. I know, I know, I should be sending in my $10 just to support Arbor Day&amp;#039;s fine work. I do support it - big time - but I&amp;#039;d be lying if I said those 10 free trees didn&amp;#039;t push me over the edge. Come to think of it, I don&amp;#039;t know where I&amp;#039;d put ten trees, but since I&amp;#039;ll be able to plant right up until December, I&amp;#039;m sure I&amp;#039;ll figure it out! And if they don&amp;#039;t grow, the Arbor Day Foundation will replace them. (Boy, do they put the garden center to shame.) With any luck, I&amp;#039;ll be able to hug my trees before too long!
