Abbeville Garden Club, Keep Abbeville Beautiful recognize Louisiana Arbor Day

Louisiana’s Arbor Day is celebrated on the 3rd Friday in January and serves as a reminder that the best time to plant trees in our area are the cooler days of November through early March.
This allows time for the tree to set roots and adapt to its new location before the heat of summer.
Abbeville Garden Club and Keep Abbeville Beautiful are partnering with Boys and Girls Clubs of Acadiana-Vermilion Unit to plant a tree in A.A.Comeaux Memorial Park.
AGC will provide an appropriate tree for the park and help with its planting and maintenance requirements. Students will then be responsible for continuing care of the young tree as part of their club’s after school and summertime activities.
Arbor Day, both state and national, encourages us all to be more mindful of our wonderful trees and to be aware of the need to protect trees during our daily work and play.
