Description

The day is set aside world-wide to raise awareness of the importance of trees for cleaning our air, filtering water and protecting our soil from erosion. With the planet-wide impact from pollution and climate changes affecting all of us, every tree planted is a step in the right direction.
A selection of native Kansas trees will be available, while supplies last, including:
Redbud
