Benefitting Others

He that plants trees loves others besides himself.
--Thomas Fuller
Dwane and I have always planted trees and gardens that we would not be around to enjoy.  I am sure many of you do the same.  To plant a tree is to be thinking of the enjoyment of others years beyond when we may be here.  Gardens can be the same.  At a previous house, Dwane and I planted and nurtured raspberry bushes, rhubarb and asparagus.  It did not matter that we would not be around to enjoy them, although we did enjoy them as long as we lived there.  I have always enjoyed moving in somewhere where an earlier person planted a tree or perennial that I could enjoy.  It shows our regard for others to do so.  What has someone planted that you now enjoy?
