CELEBRATE TREES

Crofton Village Garden Club hosted Celebrate Trees​, a community tree planting event sponsored by Crofton Community Library. Thanks to a generous grant from Unity Gardens, twelve native willow oak trees were planted in the parking area under the direction of Anne Arundel County Master Gardeners. The oak trees replace ash trees killed by the emerald ash borer. The event highlighted the value of trees to the community and included a tree planting demonstration. Anne Arundel Weed Resistance displayed invasive plants and demonstrated the removal of destructive vines, such as English Ivy, from trees. Master Gardeners and Master Watershed Stewards were available to answer questions and provide information about Bay-friendly practices, controlling stormwater runoff, and the value of native plants.

Thank you to Denise Frey, Committee Chair for Projects, for coordinating this event and to all of the volunteers who braved the wind and cold.
