The rest of the trees went in today that were given in honor of Leslie Anne Bustard, one of our founding members. Twenty-one trees were planted in total, including a sweet trinity of sugar maples in the northeast part of the property by a lamppost. The other trees included English Walnut, River Birch, Red Bud, Princeton Elm, Brandywine Maple, Tulip Poplar, Swamp White Oak, Yellowwood, and Northern Spendor Black Gum. Thanks to all who donated in Leslie’s memory and those who helped plant. Leslie organized the first women’s conference at our church soon after we began with the theme “Bloom Where You’re Planted,” and it will be a joy to watch these trees bloom in the Spring!
