«We are responsible for those, whom we have tamed»

 January 25, 2010 - It was a wonderful winter day! This day was a holiday in our Garden "Living Christmas Tree". But in the morning in the Garden, all participants gathered family teams of the competition "Adopt a Tree!" of Tver. We brought the wood, light the fire and talked...! We met, talked about themselves and their trees. The team captains made a presentation of their entire family projects.
It was a touching and heartfelt stories of people and trees. These were stories of friendship, care and love, laughter and sadness, joys and sorrows - the historys of life. Of course, we have chosen together a winning team in the first year of competition "Adopt a Tree!" in Tver! Those people whose family was able to reveal to us the brightest and warmest story of his family tree. The winners of the Ivanov family became. Their project is called "Our memories of the war and soldiers liberators." This is the story of the legendary birch. This birch was planted May 9, 1945 on the day of Victory in Great Patriotic War (World War II)! The winners received a wonderful gift from our partners - home theater. But without the gifts and commemorative diplomas did not leave one!
The most important gift that we have each other - communication. We talked, we met, we talked, and we were closer! Thank you all for the wealth of your soul and warm your hearts. You are our dear competitors and our wonderful friends
