HAVE FUN WITH ARBOR DAY

Ancient Chinese Proverb says: "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The next best time is now.”

WHAT IS ARBOR DAY?

Arbor Day, clarifies Wikipedia, is “...a holiday in which individuals and groups are encouraged to plant and care for trees...”

ARBOR DAY INFO

Arbor Day observance was adopted by a large amount of countries and states globally starting several hundred years ago to produce enthusiasm and celebrate the necessity of trees for health, hygiene, decoration, nature, environment and customs, to recognize the aesthetic and physical and economic value of trees, and to refoliate barren areas; in fine-to persuade everyone to plant more trees.

WHY DO WE OBSERVE ARBOR DAY?

For community-minded concerns, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources suggests the celebration of Arbor Day gives us the chance to learn about trees and take positive action to make the world a better place.

• Trees release vital oxygen through photosynthesis which you and I and animals are required to breathe.
• Trees break up harmful pollutants and small particles from the air which might damage our lungs.
• Trees help reduce noise pollution.
• Trees make a home and food for wildlife.
• Trees are glorious to look at, nice to listen to as leaves rustle in the breeze, fun to explore, wonderful to climb, and superb to dream under.

Don't forget to plant carefully. Also rememberr that trees might get really gigantic, even after you've long since moved away, and their roots may spread out wide and shallow. Take your own property and your neighbors' property in to mind. Trees add charm to your environment, and many produce fruit or nuts at the same time! Resulting from centuries of progress, we certainly have many trees that can successfully develop into a satisfying part of your landscape in a shorter length of time than before. The same goes for the vast range of trees which might be grown in pots or other containers - there are far more now than in the past!

Observe Arbor Day by planning for the future. Plant a tree for yourself, your family, your community, your parents, or grandparents. Plant a fruit tree, an ornamental, or an endangered tree for a big event like a wedding or graduation from school. They are often ideal to commemorate when you moved to the new house, to mark the corners of your property, for a wind break, a privacy screen, for shade to cool the area, for the death of a loved-one, or for a child's birth. Happy Arbor Day from the nursery gurus at Nursery Enterprises!
