The Greenwich Tree Conservancy will celebrate Arbor Day and Greenwich’s Urban Forest with its Annual Tree Party on Friday, April 26.
The theme of this year’s party is “Forest Gnomes” – mythical creatures who are believed to guard our forests but are hidden from sight. Long ago, the gnomes were known to be tree lovers and stewards of the forest. Gnome statues add whimsy and offer a connection to Old World wisdom, that stewardship is necessary to nurture our efforts on behalf of trees. The Tree Conservancy has taken on that role from the Forest Gnomes, and its annual Tree Party fundraiser reflects the need to support this mission.
The event takes place from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at McArdle’s Florist & Garden Center, 48 Arch St. There will be hors d’ oeuvres from Happiness is Catering Company and alcoholic beverages donated by Val’s Liquor Store. Tickets can be purchased at greenwichtreeconservancy.org
