Today is Colorado's Arbor Day!
The third Friday in April has been designated Colorado's
Arbor Day. While most holidays celebrate something that
has already happened, Arbor Day represents a hope for
the future. The simple act of planting a tree represents
a belief that the tree will grow to provide us with
clean air & water, cooling shade, habitat for wildlife,
healthier communities, and endless natural beauty — all
for a better tomorrow for everyone.

Celebrate by Planting a Tree
Tree planting is the heart of what Arbor Day is all
about, and to plant a tree in your yard is to carry on a
legacy that is nearly 150 years old!
If you'd like to join in this wonderful tradition and
add a tree to your landscape this year, we're happy
to help you! You'll want to select your tree carefully,
as they should live for decades and are far more than
just decorative. Choose a tree that will thrive in
Colorado and will work in your own landscape.
Need a little advice? Our nursery experts will be happy
to help you pick out a tree that will be right at home
in your yard. You can even arrange to have
our team plant it for you!

|
|
There's really no better way to honor the spirit of
Arbor Day than to plant a tree. Your grandchildren will
thank you for it later!

In the Vegetable Garden — Mid-April is the time
to set out broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, kohlrabi,
Swiss chard, radicchio, and Brussels sprouts plants. Be
sure to harden them off first. Rotate your vegetable
crop plantings each year by planting each variety of
vegetable in a different part of your garden than you
did last year. This will minimize repeated problems with
disease and insects.
Get a Jump on the Season — Enjoy an earlier
growing season by four weeks by setting out Season
Starter plant protectors in April. You can set tomatoes
and pepper plants inside them ten days after initial
setup of your Season Starter. The setup period allows
the soil beneath the solar shelters to warm to a
temperature suitable
for plant growth.
