You would think that being a tree nursery – I would know when National Tree Day was!\u00a0 I could have blogged about it\u00a0and made some special promotions to celebrate the event. But no – I was unaware that there was such a day until it was too late.\u00a0 Turns out that National Tree day is celebrated on September 26th (next year it is July 26th – take note – Ha! – also watch for promotions!)…and the only way I found about it was when a teacher phoned from a local High School who was wondering if we had any trees available for her class to plant.\u00a0 Do we have trees?\u00a0 We have thousands of them – how many thousands do you need?\u00a0 They didn’t need thousands of them but 8 would do…well this turned out to be a big event.\u00a0 A class trip was planned to our facility and we ended up helping the class dig the holes and even donating a Pyramidal Oak.\u00a0 The local TV station was there\u00a0as well as local newspapers.\u00a0 On further investigation I found that National Tree day is everywhere (how could I miss it!) it\u00a0is on facebook and twitter – heck – they even\u00a0have their own website and everything! I have to spend more time on my social media stuff and get out from under the proverbial rock I have been under!\u00a0 It has been quite busy here this past week as the weather has started to change and people want to get their fall gardening done.\u00a0 I hope to get out this afternoon and take some pictures of the leaves starting to change colour and it looks like it will be a bright sunny afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
