Tree Planting. Feb. 6, 2020 10a
Members of HIGC came out in soggy weather to watch the trees being planted.
|
Thanks to a generous donation from The Alliance for Cape Fear Trees (ACFT), our club planted two Live Oak Trees in Harbor Way Garden. Live Oaks are native to Wrightsville Beach and we are thrilled to have two new trees to shade our garden for decades to come.
