Arbor Day Preparations

Mt. Vernon Garden Club members and Tree Board members got together this week to package seedlings for school kids in Jefferson County and Mt. Vernon. Pines and hardwoods were individually bagged and stapled to an instruction sheet that shows the kids how to plant a tree properly. This dedicated crew has been helping with Arbor Day festivities for several years, and they make it possible to distribute trees to every school in the county. SALUTE!
