Wes Hopper Reading poem
May 20, 2017 was a long reached milestone–The Cooper Young Garden Club, spearheaded by Judi Shellabarger, attained Level 3 Arboretum Certification!  That means we identified + labeled over 90 different tree species within our neighborhood. More remarkable is that Judi and her team completed this in one year. Now neighbors, walkers, and Peabody + Natural School children can learn tree names and importance of trees in making our neighborhood more livable, comfortable and beautiful. Thank you, also to the West TN Urban Forestry group + Wes Hopper  for helping us find and label suitable trees. Our webpage includes the tree map. Also, we have a Cooper Young Arboretum app you can download.
When you see Judi Shellabarger, be sure to tell her how much you appreciate her hard work and dedication to this project.
