Did you know Delaware has two arboretums? Arboretums are composed areas of trees and shrubs for the purpose of education and to serve as a living museum.

The first arboretum is a majority of the academic side of the Ohio Wesleyan Unuversity campus. The second is Oak Grove Cemetery. Both have a variety of trees both native and non-native. They are open and free to the public.

On this Arbor Day, if you can't plant a tree today, go visit one of these spaces and experience the trees.

On this Earth Day, find an activity that you can do to help support our blue marble. Some ideas:

🌎 Pick up trash in your neighborhood
🌎 Plant a pollinator garden or pot
🌎 Spend time in your local park
🌎 Plant a tree (Arbor Day is Friday)
🌎 Learn about native plants in your region and make a plan to incorporate them into your garden
🌎 Plant a veggie garden or pot and eat more seasonally

Let's carry the joy we all felt watching the Artemis II Mission to the moon and do something to help the earth continue to support us so we can continue to thrive!

Please join us for Paragraphs for Patriots!

Members of our chapter have worked over the last couple years to find and document the grave sites of the many Revolutionary War Patriots who settled in Delaware County and established the city.

Pesach (Passover) begins this evening at sundown. The seven day holiday is celebrated to remember the breaking of the bonds of enslavement by the Hebrews. The seder is held on the first night and is a meal marked by a retelling of the events in Exodus. Each part of the seder plate is a physical reminder of the enslavement in Egypt and the plagues that enabled the Hebrews' freedom.

May all who celebrate have a blessed Pesach.

The first cherry trees were planted around the Tidal Basin in Washington, D.C., on this day in 1912. The trees were a gift of friendship from the Japanese to the United States.

The National Park Service has spent the last couple years on a project to help reduce the inundation of salt water into the Tidal Basin and protect the cherry trees. Late last month, 250 trees arrived from Japan. These trees are to commemorate America's 250th birthday and replace trees that were removed in 2024 as part of the Tidal Basin work.
