A group of High Schoolers at John Bowne High School in Queens have been tending to hundreds of trees this winter and now offers them to you this Arbor Day. It’s normal for some of our large schoolyard planting areas to experience a small amount of die-back after their initial planting. If you have a bioswale or planting area with sunny, open space, I highly recommed you put in a request for a tree delivery! Trees are an expensive item so this is an excellent offer. We can assist in getting them in the ground April 24th through 27th – that week will book up, so let us know soon!
