The Nation’s 150th Arbor Day
is Rivergrove’s 5th
Let’s Celebrate!!
On Saturday, April 30th, we’ll meet in Lloyd Minor Park—Rain or Shine—at 1 pm to hear Mayor Williams read the Arbor Day Proclamation and start the celebrations. For those who don’t know, Lloyd Minor Park is on Dogwood Ave. between Marlin and Tualamere.
Our friend Jennifer Crock will have dug all the holes with her Koboda tractor so planting will be very easy--children will love to help fill in the holes!
Leaf Prints for Children! Supervised activity for children, young and old.
Cookies, Bottled Water and Coffee will be served.
Then on Sunday, May 1st, from 10 am to 4 pm) the celebration continues with an Open Garden at Charlene and Bill Tuttle’s home, 5710 Childs, near Benfield. This magnificent 2-acre garden is always a treat to visit. Again, the garden will be open rain or shine.
With thanks to Oregon Community Trees for the splendid grant to help Rivergrove’s urban forest. The funds were used to provide trees for our arbor day celebration, a long hose to water them and a supply of tree-watering bags that will help our dedicated crew of tree waterers. If you and your family would like to water, Please let us know! manager@cityofrivergrove.com
