Arbor Day is this Friday, and one place where they will be celebrating is Fernwood Botanical Garden and Nature Preserve in Niles. The garden’s Elaine Rowland tells WSJM News they’ll hold a traditional tree planting in the Fernwood arboretum at 2 p.m. Friday.

“Our horticultural staff plants a tree and we all pitch in and help,” Rowland said. “It’s a lot of fun and we talk about the history of Fernwood‘s arboretum and they always specially pick out a tree and a location.”

Everyone is welcome to attend the tree planting. Rowland tells us they will also hand out saplings and give guided tours of the arboretum.
