Fall IS for Planting! Plants and trees not only beautify and add value to your property, they improve the environment by preventing harmful runoff into our streams. And of course there’s that old oxygen production. Haha!

It’s a great season to enjoy the outdoors, dig in the dirt, and spend some quality time with family and nature. “Planting now gives trees and shrubs nine months for roots to develop and grow before they have to face the harsh heat and potential drought of summer. Fall soils are warm enough to promote root growth, and there is less need to water. Fall is the ideal time to Plant More Plants.” (Quoted from the website below.)
