Love a Tree Day
NATIONAL LOVE A TREE DAY May 16th
Did you know that trees bring so much!
Part of our mission is permaculture. We aim to help the general public learn to practice and create self-sustanible ecosystems that minimizes waste. It can be simple if you have the tools and know how to use what is on your land in a non-destructive manner that will create biodiversity. Permaculture emphasizes building mutually beneficial relationships between different elements of a system. Thus, it is an efficient self-sustaining ecosystem.
Think about ways of using trees.
They make mulch and helps your compost or vermicompst bins. Using their old limbs in a bonfire and the wood ash is a fabulous way to keep some plants fertilized, keep away pests, and if you have a flock, they love it for a dust bath. It also absorbs smells from pet urine. Amending your soil with compost and / or wood ash that you made brings a higher self-esteem, plus you know there are no added chemicals. Doing these 2 methods helps produce food in a sustainable way.
Trees give us shade and food, helps support the wildlife, and create memories. Kids love playing on a tree swing, in a tree house, or climb up one to have lunch with a peanut butter sandwich while picking mulberries.
Hanging a hammock between 2 trees on your property creates a relaxing place to lounge. Read a book under one, have family and friends stop by for tea in the garden, or add a tree to a painting.
Some trees have carved in names, give us maple syrup, nuts, and can be a great pollinator for the wildlife.
Plus, for the bird watchers, they are a great place to see where they might raise their young. A property with trees brings a welcoming vibe and value to your home.
They are essential for mental heath, AIR, and WATER QUALITY.
Our Garden Exchange Stands have tree cutting for sharing at times. We hope to see you at one of our educational workshops someday. Together, we are bringing back gardening culture.

Today, Baseline Flowers is the last remaining flower shop from that era. Please see their video on their website that tells a bit about their history!
