The first Arbor Day celebration took place in 1872.  Proposed by J. Sterling Morton, a Nebraska journalist and politician, the holiday was designed to encourage tree planting for fuel, building materials, and environmental benefits. Those benefits are discussed on today's Garden Bite. Check out more information and photos on gardenbite.com.

Arbor Day 2026

Nibbles of knowledge on all things in the garden! I love to share gardening basics with the person who wants to get their hands dirty but might be a little apprehensive about digging in. It’s not about perfection, it’s about enjoying the road to it! It’s Wabi Sabi (Imperfect Beauty). I want you to go out in the garden with a little more confidence and a lot less fear of killing your plants, after all, some die! This is COLD Climate gardening. Teri Knight became a master gardener in 2003 and has hosted Garden Bite since 2007! Find more information on my website: www.gardenbite.com
