Merikay is leading another native tree give-away this Thursday from her garden. She will have 450-500 bare-root native tree saplings (obtained from Maryland DNR). Any household can take up to 10 trees. They need to be planted ASAP (but are very easy to plant being small). Merikay can answer questions about tree planting and care.
As a practical matter, this event is best for people living not too far from Merikay. If you’re in DC or VA, you are likely to have access to native trees through other programs.
LDSES is going to have a tree-theme for this year, with special events planned including art, service projects, reflections on LDS theology relative to trees and more. So come grab a few trees for your garden (or to plant for someone else — with their permission of course).
These are the tree and shrub species we expect to have:
pawpaw, serviceberry, spicebush, southern arrowwood, beautyberry, buttonbush, hazelnut, witchhazel, Southern red oak, white oak, willow oak, pin oak, Virginia pine.
