A small but determined group spent a couple of mornings - trying to avoid the heat - making great progress in cleaning up the grounds of the Glesmann House. Huge thanks to Danielle, Brian, and Ross.

Did you know trees love donuts? 🍩

On , we’re here to tell you when it comes to mulching, there are Dos and Do-nuts, sorry Don’ts!

DO: Keep mulch away from the bark. Layer mulch 3-4 inches deep but keep a loose donut space around the trunk of the tree. 🍩✅

DON’T: When applied properly, mulch can benefit your tree. However- don’t over do it! Avoid volcano mulching! Volcano mulching is when mulch gets piled high against the trunk of the tree. This may result in decay, rodent and insect damage and even death to the tree. 🌋🚫
