The Suffield Garden Club will once again continue the tradition of giving each fourth grade student a young tree to plant. The Arbor Day Program will take place Friday, April 24 at McAlister School where students will showcase their knowledge of trees with poems, songs and recitations. They will leave school with a young sapling to plant, typically in their own yard or somewhere in our beautiful town of Suffield. This program is made possible through the Memorial Fund of the Suffield Garden Club with the financial help of Val Galivan, a former member, beginning in 1965. The Garden Club extends their thanks to Bartlett Tree Experts for securing these trees for this annual program.
This meeting has been canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
