August is in full swing and we're well into exploring our latest topic on the Down the Garden Path podcast. This month, we're talking all about deciduous trees and upright evergreens. In this episode, we mixed it up a bit by opening the floor to our listeners. This special trees Q & A also marks the third anniversary of the release of Down the Garden Path as a podcast. We're so grateful to all our listeners. Thanks for joining us each week!

Tune into this week's podcast as we answer your questions on trees.

In addition to taking listeners' questions, we discuss All About Trees! A Webinar Series from Local Enhancement & Appreciation of Forests (LEAF).
