Geocache Description:

This cache is located in the Giving Tree Garden which is located in Holon city, Israel. To get here you should drive the Ayalon highway and get down east on Yoseftal st. After 900 meters you'll see the garden at your right.

The Story Gardens are a series of 30 gardens and parks were built in Holon. All of the Gardens were sculptured to demonstrate known children's stories. These gardens are part of the municipality's project to increase the city's green lungs and they are scattered throughout city neighborhoods

This cache is one out of many caches that I am planning to hide in the future. All caches will be hidden in gardens which takes part of the Story Garden Project.

Story of the cache:
The giving tree is an old story that reflects an unconditioned love. The tree loves the boy so much and gives the boy anything he needs.
This garden were designed by Buki Schwartz, Sculptor and video artist, was born in Jerusalem in 1932. Buki designed the trees out of huge red colored poles. Each tree shows one step of the tree turnover in the story. On top of each tree he placed a mirror.

1. The story so you can read it while sitting there under a tree.
2. No pen, so bring one with you.
3. Log book.
