Dade City Garden Club marks 27th Anniversary of Arbor Day/Memorial Tree Celebration

2021 Arbor DayThe Dade City Garden Club will host its annual Arbor Day and Memorial Tree Celebration on Thursday, April 28, 2022, at the Garden Club, 13630 5th Street, Dade City, FL, at 10 am. The Garden Club is extending a special invitation to the public to join them for this special event to celebrate Arbor Day and to honor the tree recipients. This year marks the 27th year that the City of Dade City and the Dade City Garden Club have jointly sponsored the Arbor Day/Memorial Tree program.

Memorial trees that have been given throughout the year will be recognized. Trees are dedicated in memory or in honor of a person or special occasion and are living and lasting tributes that add beauty for the city and quality to the environment. The City will honor the Dade City Garden Club with an Arbor Day Proclamation at the April 26th City Commissioner meeting beginning at 5:30 pm.

Added last year as an exciting new component, the Dade City Garden Club again sponsored an art contest for local students, with this year’s contest being held at the Academy at the Farm in Dade City. The students learned about the history of Arbor Day and were asked to design a cover fitting for the Arbor Day Program to be printed for the event. The three finalists including the overall winner will be recognized at the meeting.
