A Grower Perspective

This spring has been a whirlwind of activities both at work and at home. Yesterday I happened to take a quiet moment to walk out into my backyard and was delighted to discover that some of my trees were in full bloom. They were glorious. We planted them at various times over the 22 years we have lived in this house. At the time, they were small, seemingly insignificant trees. We planted them knowing that someday in the future they would grow tall and beautiful – providing colorful spring color and lush green canopies in our landscape. Yesterday, I realized that day had arrived. It made me realize, once again, how quickly time passes. I can clearly remember Dave and I planting each one and here we are more than two decades later enjoying their mature beauty.

Think about your own landscape. Where would signature trees provide you with years of beauty? Don’t wait another year. Plant some now and twenty years later you’ll stand there admiring their glory. And you’ll wonder how time could pass so quickly.
