. Our native redbuds and dogwoods are in full bloom. I was at a prospective clients property on Tuesday and walked by this pink dogwood in full bloom. I had to take a photo. If you are unfamiliar with the legend of the dogwood take a minute and google it. My grandmother told me about the legend as a child and whenever someone asks me for a tree to memorialize a loved one I usually recommend a dogwood.Wednesday, April 29, 2009

Earth Day! Arbor Day! Springfest! What a week!
Well despite the cool temperatures and soaking rains we are coming up on one of my most favorite weeks of the year.
My earliest memory of Earth Day was in elementary school, many moons ago, cleaning up the wood line adjacent to our playground. We picked up debris that had flown in from the winter winds. Our Rotary club sponsors a highway roadside cleanup twice a year, in fact they did so this past weekend. It sounds simple but if everyone took the time this week to go out and clean-up their yard, neighborhood, town the world and you would be all the better for it.
Arbor day has always had a special place in my being. I strive to plant at least one tree a year as a remembrance of someone or event. In years past I have planted a tree to memorialize a loved one, celebrate a new life, repair or beautify the environment. I can recount planting each one with clarity and enjoy passing by and noting their growth. As the saying goes 'plant a tree for tomorrow, not today'.
Not even the weather will keep me from enjoying this great week of the year!
W.D. Wells fellow designers and myself will be selling trees, shrubs and perennials at the second annual Anson B. Nixon spring fest in Kennett Square. Please join us! For more info please visit http://www.springfestinthepark.org/Services.html
