The Green Legacy They Leave Behind

The wonderful students here took part in preparing the planting areas, placing the tree carefully into the soil! We learned that, just like students, trees need care and attention in order to grow strong! Awarded with an apple tree, this wonderful tree comes with different variety of apples such as Granny Smith, Gala apple, and Honeycrisp! We hope that the new tree will become a special part of their school! As the students leave their legacy behind journeying to another school after the summer!

Where Roots Meet the Future

This wonderful teacher and her students came out to meet their new apple tree! Ashley and Stephanie from Groundworks Elizabeth were able to walk through how to maintain their tree and to use the green “donut” to water as much as they can! We are looking forwarded to how this tree will grow! We hope you have an amazing summer and are looking forward to coming back next year!

Every Tree Tells a Story

Union County Commissioner Neron joined Chessie Dentley Roberts Academy School No. 30 for their cherry tree planting! Thank you so much to the students and staff for coming out for their tree planting! We were beyond happy to see the students smile for the plantings! One thing we learned about tart cherries is how they are a natural source of melatonin! A hormone that helps regulate sleep, it can help you fall asleep sooner and keep you sleeping longer! Like I always say, the more you know! 😊
