- Rethimno - We convene at the predetermined rendezvous location, so mobility is key. Should that be inconvenient, we can coordinate an alternative pickup spot to include you in our journey.\nTogether, we’ll travel to the olive orchard where you’ll have the chance to affix your nameplate to your adopted tree. This is the perfect moment for capturing a plethora of photographs and even a video, while we also create visual memories of the event. Subsequently, we’ll celebrate your adoption with a toast beside your tree. Depending on your adoption package, you’ll then receive your corresponding sponsor’s kit from us.\nPrefer to engage in planting? You’re invited to plant an olive sapling from our Cretan Lazarus initiative within the grove. We cultivate new shoots from the genetic stock of ancient, monumental olive trees and from strains at risk of vanishing. The olive saplings we plant today are bred to ensure they are no more than two generations removed from their ancestors. By planting a sapling from our Cretan Lazarus project, you contribute to environmental conservation and climate preservation.

We safeguard ancient olive trees on Crete and cultivate new trees from the same genetic stock to prevent these venerable and old strains from extinction. Moreover, we’re combating climate change, where every tree sponsor can help in enhancing the environment. Join us in making nature better and receive an ecosystem in return. Numerous famous personalities across the globe back our cause and actions. Unfortunately, several olive trees keep falling victim to the saw due to various reasons ranging from poverty to avarice to name a few. Please indicate at checkout whether you’d like to preserve an old olive tree or plant a new one. Whether as an individual, as a pair a tree of love, as a family a family tree, or as a special occasion gift. Take up the responsibility of becoming a guardian of ancient/young olive trees in Crete.
