Our final Home Tree Care 101 class today -- for the spring season --was a rousing success. We had homeowners from five communities on the walkabout. It was organized by the Parkwood Citizens Association and the Kensington Estates Civic Association. Many thanks to Anne Gagne and Bailey Condry for nominating their communities for this free class. To sign up for a fall class, please email us at [email protected].
