Trees are one of the infrastucture that actually grow in value for look, shade and food.

Sarah explains shrub renovation in January and February. Shaping them down for growth in months to come and use less water.

Aimee talks about The Resiliency Project. Planting 100 trees to honor those who risked their lives, fell ill or passed away during Covid-19 that fits with their tree vision.

Good time to put mulch down around trees to retain moisture and keep the ground warm during cold days of winter. Create mulch from tree droppings. And other suggestions mentioned. Mulch keeps the soil from being too impacted.

Never use nails or staples to hang lights.
