Adair Garden Club offers Free Redbud, Dogwood seedling trees

By Barbara Armitage
News from the Adair Co. Garden Club

The Adair County Garden Club will offer free Redbud and Dogwood seedling trees, to the community starting at 8amCT, Saturday April 3, 2010, beginning at 8:00amCT in the parking lot of Day and Day Feed and Pet, 1011 Campbellsville RD, Columbia, KY.

The Garden Club invites Adair Countians to celebrate spring and the awakening of the earth by planting trees.

Did you know? During a 50-year life span, one tree will generate $30,000 in oxygen, recycle $35,000 worth of water, and clean up $60,000 worth of air pollution!Here are just a few reasons why you should plant a tree:

Trees prevent or reduce soil erosion and water pollution
Trees help recharge ground water and sustain stream flow
Properly placed screens of trees and shrubs significantly decrease noise pollution along busy thoroughfares and intersections
Trees screen unsightly views
Depending on location, species, size, and condition, shade from trees can reduce utility bills for air conditioning in residential and commercial buildings by 15-50 percent
Windbreaks around homes can be shields against wind and snow and heating costs can be reduced by as much as 30 percent
Shade from trees cools hot streets and parking lots. Cities are "heat islands" that are 5-9 degrees hotter than surrounding areas.
Trees and shrubs properly placed and cared for on a residential or commercial lot can significantly increase property values
Trees add beauty and grace to any community setting. They make life more enjoyable, peaceful, relaxing, and offer a rich inheritance for future generations
Trees give people a multitude of recreational opportunities and provide habitat for wildlife
Research indicates that trees help reduce stress in the workplace and speed recovery of hospital patients

This free event is brought to our community through the efforts of the Adair County Garden Club. For information on upcoming classes/events or to join the Adair County Garden Club contact Barbara Armitage at (270) 250-2979. -Barbara Armitage
