Plant a Tree Program
At every Issaquah Garden Club meeting, a basket is passed to collect money for the NGC-Plant a Tree Program. Each $68 collected is contributed to a Penny Pine Plantation as part of the cost of replanting replacement trees indigenous to a particular damaged area. IGC has directed their collected funds to the Wenatchee National Forest in Washington State which has had several devastating fires in recent years.
