The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, but the second best time is now — or on Florida Arbor Day, celebrated on Friday, Jan. 19.
Carole Valcik, officer of the Cherry Laurel Garden Club of Ormond Beach and life member of the Ormond Beach Historical Society, quoted the Chinese proverb during the Florida Arbor Day celebration held at the Anderson-Price Memorial Building, one of several events held in Ormond Beach in recognition of both the state holiday and the upcoming 100th anniversary of the Florida Federation of Garden Clubs.
"When Cherry Laurel first heard about FFGC's anniversary day of tree planting project, it was an easy choice for us to decide to whom we wanted to donate trees or shrubs, and where they should be planted," Valcik said.
