In lieu of flowers

Please consider a contribution to Plant a Tree for Rusty.

Background

Rusty loved growing unique trees in the microclimate that only exists in the Boston Harbor neighborhood of Olympia, WA.

From Gingko to Monkey Puzzle, Mississippi Buckeye to Eucalyptus, giant Redwoods and tiny Japanese Bonsai not to mention everything else in-between, he could bring a seedling to life.

He loved to share every start and cutting with friends. If you're reading this, you probably have one of his spider plants in your kitchen, don't you?

His ability to nurture relationships was never limited to friendships with colleagues and family. He understood soil, roots and connecting with the earth in a way most people can only hope for.

Over nearly 40 years, he turned the Lane family property into an estate that feels like walking through a national park today.

In lieu of flowers or gifts, please consider planting a unique tree in his honor and sending pictures, or donating so we can plant a tree for you here in his hometown.
