Tree Planting at East Belfast Elementary School

Two trees, a magnolia and a red bud, purchased by the Belfast Garden Club education committee, have been planted in the front yard of East Belfast Elementary School. Two second-grade classes and their teachers helped to plant on October 18, joining Paula Smith and Sherri Hesse from the education committee, Lauren Glessing, the school district’s gardens coordinator, and TWiG committee members April Daly Cagnon, Alexa Clifford, Carol Herwig, and Brit Zeigler.

A big thank you to Aubuchon Hardware in Belfast for supplying the trees with a generous discount. And thanks, too, to everyone who purchased plants at the May plant sale, and visited the Open Garden Days during the summer! These two important programs help to fund our donations to local schools and the community.
