Autumn is for Planting!
Autumn is an ideal time to plant a tree; in fact many people think it's the best time for tree planting! The Growing Home Campaign provides homeowners with $10 coupons for trees purchased at local participating nurseries. There are many good reasons to plant trees, including reducing polluted stormwater runoff that flows to the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries, saving on energy costs, and increasing property values. The Growing Home brochure and $10 tree coupons are available at all public libraries, recreation and parks facilities and senior centers, or at www.growinghome.info. For more information call 410-887-4488.
