How perfect! The next book on the Storybook Trail will be in place on September 22…make plans to check it out at the Drummonds Arboretum!

“As An Oak Tree Grows" by G. Brian Karas, this inventive picture book relays the events of two hundred years from the unique perspective of a magnificent oak tree, showing how much the world can transform from a single vantage point. From 1775 to the present day, this fascinating framing device lets readers watch as human and animal populations shift and the landscape transitions from country to city. Methods of transportation, communication and energy use progress rapidly while other things hardly seem to change at all.

We had an amazing workday at the Drummonds Park Arboretum and the Drummonds Elementary School Garden. We wacked some weeds, poured some mulch, fought some Kudzu and gave the Wisteria a hair cut. Thank you to our Master Gardener volunteers. A special thank you to Jim Houston and Bill Cole for helping the Master Gardeners. Team Work, Team Work, Team Work!

If you haven’t visited the Arboretum you are missing out on one of the gems of Tipton County!

If you missed the Night Flight event at the Drummonds Park Arboretum last night, you missed a fun and informative time! Candace Herron from the UT TSU Extension Tipton County office along with several Tipton County Master Gardeners hosted over 40 participants exploring insects of the night. What a fun time!

Stay tuned for more insect and nature related educational opportunities coming soon!
