Ladd’s Addition tree planting
🌳 Ladd’s Addition Tree Planting
Saturday, February 7th
9:00 AM – 11:30 AM (ish)
Meet in front of Floyd’s Coffeehouse & Wine Bar
We’ll be planting 11 saplings throughout Ladd’s Addition. Planting trees is a wonderful way to beautify the neighborhood, meet your neighbors, and have some fun together.
No experience necessary. We’ll start with a short demonstration before getting underway. We’ll divide into small teams and will keep households together as much as possible.
What to bring:
Gloves
If you have them: shovel, pruners, bucket, broom, rake
Rain or shine, the planting will happen.
