2024 Arbor Day and Memorial Tree Celebration
The Dade City Garden Club will host its annual Arbor Day and Memorial Tree Celebration on Thursday, April 25, 2024, at the Garden Club, 13630 5th Street, Dade City, FL, at 10 am. This year marks the 29th year that the City of Dade City and the Dade City Garden Club have jointly sponsored the Arbor Day/Memorial Tree program.
Memorial trees purchased 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. Speaking at the event will be Dr. Whitney Elmore, UF/IFAS Pasco County Extension Director and Foresters Jessica Clark and Arthur Clothier from the Florida Forest Service.
The Dade City Garden Club again sponsored an art contest for local students, with this year’s contest
being held at the Lacoochee Elementary School. 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 overall winner, Kellan Lopez, won a $50 cash award and will have his art featured on the program.
The event is free and open to the public. For information, contact
