ReplyDeleteThe picture for your banner is beautiful! I really love the vibrant green leaves, and the depth of the branch. This presentation is something I would be really interested in. I know a lot about trees, but I'm always excited to learn more. Especially when can learn from a professional arborist. http://www.coastwidetreeservices.com.au/About_Us.html
ReplyDeleteI would love to go to something like this, where an arborist who has a lot of experience came to speak to everyone! I'm really worried that I don't have a green thumb and that any plant I touch will die. I have a few houseplants, but I've never tried keeping a garden or yard. I bet there are all kinds of tips and tricks to taking care of a yard. http://www.doneritetreeco.com/about_us.php
