Arbor Day

So, I donated some money to the Arbor Day foundation. In return, I received ten (that's right, TEN) saplings to plant. I received them in the mail, today. I have two Sargent Crabapples (Malus sargentii), two Eastern Redbuds (Cercis Canadensis), two Washington Hawthorns (Crateygus phaenopyrum), two White Flowering Dogwoods (Cornus florida), and two Goldenraintrees (Koelreuteria paniculata). As a special gift, I also received two Fragrant Lilacs (Syringa vulgaris). I plan to plant the two lilacs, two dogwoods, and one of the redbuds, here. Speaking to my fiancé's mom, yesterday, they have a bunch of dead space in their yards. I think I can plant the others at their house. I really like the idea of planting trees. It feels empowering.
