Denver Botanic Gardens Spring Plant Sale
Spring has sprung and Denver residents are preparing their gardens for the summer months ahead. While we’re certain you have flowers on the mind, your trees deserve your love and attention too! The Be a Smart Ash team will be on-site next month at the Denver Botanic Gardens Spring Plant Sale to discuss all your questions about ash trees. Ask us about our ruthless plan to foil the invasive Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) and take a selfie with the fearless and rugged Smart Ash.
The city of Denver manages the ash tree population in public spaces and in the right-of-way, but any ash trees on your property are your responsibility. The fight against EAB is real as it’s only a matter of time until they are found in our beautiful city. You can have a tree care professional treat your tree or remove and replace it with one of these City Forester-approved trees (some of which you might be able to get for free). With your help, we can maintain the long-term stability of our urban canopy.
The event details are below. As always, you can follow us on Twitter at @BeASmartAsh in the meantime. We look forward to seeing you!
