The story continues...

The beginning of the year began with our first visit on August 27, 2010. I assigned two trees for each student, and together they hiked through the arboretum to find their tree. That day we weeded away summer growth and mulched.
On September 3rd, the students planted three historical trees:
Johnny Appleseed Apple Tree
Moon Sycamore
Tidal Basin Japanese Cherry Tree
We feel so very fortunate in having the opportunity to order and plant these trees.
What we did not know at the time was that the American Forests Organization discontinued their offer of historical trees,
and that this was the last shipment to be offered.
