We have the utmost respect for our veterans ????

Over the last several years, support and enthusiasm for youth gardening has expanded at an exciting rate. Bucks Beautiful is thrilled to be part of this movement and has created the Bulbs for Bucks school daffodil plantings to introduce kids to gardening. This program allows students to participate in a hands-on activity to beautify their school grounds while learning and growing together. This year, we were thrilled to collaborate with our first school in upper Bucks County, M. M. Seylar Elementary School in Pennridge School District. Principal Miles Roe led the Kindergarten through 5th graders with enthusiasm! A nice bonus was that our Financial Director, Susan Carr, is a former student of M.M. Seylar. She was filled with joy to work with the students and assisted with the hand planting. . . . #buckscountypa #schoolprojects #educationalprojects

This week the Gale Nurseries Inc crew installed 4,500 #BulbsforBucks daffodil bulbs at M. M. Seylar Elementary School in Perkasie. They also pre-dug an area for the special school-wide planting event, where students will add another 500 bulbs. Our Bulbs for Bucks program has been planting daffodils across Bucks County since 2010, contributing to the beauty of our public spaces and engaging children in gardening. To date, the initiative has planted over 1.6 million daffodils across Bucks County! #buckscountypa #beautification #schoolprojects

Did you know that our REPLANT BUCKS program has a goal of planting 10,000 trees in the County? Why do we think it’s so important to counter tree canopy loss? TREES FIGHT CLIMATE CHANGE Trees absorb carbon dioxide, removing and storing the carbon and releasing oxygen back into the air. TREES CLEAN THE AIR AND HELP YOU BREATHE Trees absorb CO2, as well as odors and pollutants. It’s estimated that one tree can absorb nearly 10 pounds of polluted air each year and release 260 pounds of oxygen. TREES PREVENT SOIL EROSION AND RAINWATER RUNOFF During heavy rains, water runoff finds its way to streams, lakes and wetlands, creating the potential for flooding. It also picks up and carries pollutants along the way. The EPA and the Center for Watershed Protection are recognizing the importance of trees in managing runoff. Leaf canopies help buffer the falling rain and their roots hold the soil in place, encouraging the water to seep into the ground rather than run off. PROVIDING HABITAT Trees provide food, shelter, and nesting sites for many animals and insects, which helps maintain biodiversity Support Bucks Beautiful and help us plant more trees: https://lnkd.in/dcQeVcp Source: The Arbor Day Foundation, The Nature Conservancy #buckscountypa #buckscountynonprofit #reforestation
