Today's Planting was on Historic Mulberry Street In Springfield

Dr. Seuss saw it all on Mulberry Street. He would have loved to see the sights today. Nine Linden Trees have been planted. 
There were many wonderful participants but a special thanks goes out to the Mulberry and School Street residents who welcome these beautiful Linden trees for many years to come!
Oh, and a most heart-felt thanks to the true volunteers: Sabis Students! (you know who you are!) and,

from the Commonwealth Core, Shanell Rhodes. A big shout out THANKS!

To see more pics and the trees themselves, a photo album will be created on this site.  You made it a beautiful day folks!
(Also, thank you to Melvin Edwards at http://www.keepspringfieldbeautiful.org.)
