Holy Cross Neighborhood Tree Planting
Our neighborhood, Holy Cross, received a tree grant from Keep Indianapolis Beautiful. About 50 of our neighbors planted 71 trees this past weekend. We are so proud of our new arrivals. Holy Cross is a good old neighborhood that has fought its way back from hard times. And the trees make it even more beautiful.
This is Mindy's new Winterking Hawthorn. She actually got two!
Susan was part of Team Sturm Street. She got a Bur Oak like ours. We planted 12 trees on Sturm alone.
Planting is just the beginning. Each tree has to get 15 gallons of water each week. This is the water crew. Note the big tank in the back of the truck.
All totaled it took us about 6 hours to plant all of the trees. Then we had a big barbecue to celebrate. It was a good day.
