1. Choose Your Tree:
Imagine your tree is a character in a story. Is it a wise old oak, a playful birch, or a vibrant cherry blossom? Give it a name!

2. Create a Magical Spot:
Find the perfect spot for your tree—somewhere it can thrive. Picture it surrounded by friendly animals or enchanted flowers.

3. Prepare the Ground:
Before planting, imagine you’re preparing a cozy home. Clear the area of weeds and rocks, like making a soft bed for your new friend.

4. Dig the Hole:
As you dig, think of it as creating a treasure chest for your tree. Make it spacious, so it can grow strong and healthy.

5. Plant the Tree:
Gently place your tree in its new home, like tucking a child into bed. Cover the roots with soil, patting it down like you’re wrapping it in a warm blanket.

6. Water and Nourish:
Give your tree a drink of water, imagining you’re pouring magic into its roots. You might even tell it a story to help it feel welcome!

7. Watch It Grow:
Commit to visiting your tree regularly, sharing dreams and secrets. Over time, it will grow tall and strong, just like the bond you’ve created.
