This year Florida’s Arbor Day was Jan. 17, 2020. In celebration on Thursday, Jan. 16, 2020, we had an annual tree planting in Windermere Town Square.

Windermere Police Color Guard participated.

The entire Garden Club program for Arbor Day was wonderful – for the kids and adults too. Thanks for being such a big and important part of the community.
