Arbor Day Celebration and Dedication

Several Lexington Field & Garden Club members visited the schools during the last week of April to talk about trees and to donate white spruce seedlings to the kindergarten students.
Then, on Friday, April 27th, Club members gathered with other community members at Hastings Park for the annual Arbor Day Celebration.
Six Lexington Field & Garden Club members who have passed away during the past year were remembered. Matt Foti generously donated a tree for planting. Hank Manz, Chairman of the Board of Selectmen, several Lexington Minutemen, the Department of Public Works, the Lexington Tree Committee, and the Jeweltones all participated in the celebration as well.
