Some have commented that attending the plant sale the day before Mother's Day has been your tradition for many years. Even though we're open all the time now, the tradition doesn't have to end! The students have dug and potted over 100 plants to restock, we've added strawberries and herbs, and by the end of the week will add even more!

"It gives me a bright outlook for humanity knowing there are young adults like yourself with such strong moral and ethical core values". This is what Dr. Alexa Sicher said when she presented GreenAllies student Aiden Hakes with the Oak Tree Scholarship Award. Aiden and the other amazing students of GreenAllies are the foundation to the Althouse Arboretum and all its community programs. Congrats Aiden! Thank you to all GreenAllies students!
