I'd been meaning to compile a list of Wishing Trees I've visited over the years. And, now is as good a time as any.
The first wishing tree I visited was in March 2014. I think it was written up in a newspaper or a neighborhood blog so, of course, I wanted to see it as soon I could! Since then, more and more have popped up. (Of course, I can't know for sure if these are still up.) In 2021, someone had compiled a list on Facebook which I used to seek them out that spring and summer.
Like my labyrinths post, I'll update this as I add more.
1- NE 7th & Morris- March 7, 2014
And the same tree in January 14, 2018...
2. N. Williams between Mason and Shaver- April 15, 2017
3. NE 17th & Dekum- May 10, 2019
4. Kindness Tree- August 18, 2019- I didn't write down the location of this tree when I walked by it on the way to work that morning but based on the owner and the message/intent, it's probably the same one I passed by on the way home April 13, 2021. What do you think?
Its more current iteration...
