Million Tree Challenge

In honor of National Tree Day, the city of London gave away free trees today at several locations around town. We went to Masonville mall before gymnastics to select our tree. 

Bennett and I couldn't agree on the perfect tree, so the lady let us have TWO! I chose a lovely Tulip Poplar for our front yard. Bennett liked the looks of a Sycamore because it was "the tallest of them all!!"

The idea is that we get to plant these trees wherever we want in an effort to increase the tree population in this, The Forest City. 

I am pretty sure we will plant the Tulip Poplar in the front yard and use it to create a large flower bed out there. We still need to decide on a location for the Sycamore. They are both likely to get quite large, so they will be excellent shade trees. We were told that they will also both be good for climbing. That's a serious plus!
