Arbor Day with the Hammond Garden Club at Courtney Christian School
On a very cold day in January five members of the Hammond Garden Club, shovel and three trees in hand, made their way to Courtney Christian School on Robin Hood Drive to celebrate Arbor Day with the children from Mrs. Howell’s second grade class. They were met by Mrs. Sue Courtney that is Head of School and Principal Dr. Kayla Lamonte.
The garden club brought two Bald Cypress trees and a Willow Oak donated by Horticulturist Allen Owings from Bracey’s Nursery. Before they ventured outside Mrs. Howell educated her students about Arbor Day so they wouldn’t have to stay out of doors on such a wintry day. The trees will be planted in another section of the campus during a more desirable day.>
