Below are some June gardening and greening events that you might find of
interest.   If you haven't already gone through and graduated from PHS's
Tree Tenders Training, please consider doing so, not only for yourself, your
knowledge of tree tending and the trees, but to connect with special new
street tree acquisition programs that such status provides.

Thanks to PHS's Wired Gardener for these notices.
