You just can't ask for any better community partner than Keep Blount Beautiful(KBB).  The remainder of the donated plants, for the Townsend River Walk & Arboretum, which consisted of two Sassafras Trees and four Paw Paw Trees, were delivered to me a couple weeks ago  This was the final part of a larger donation of plants to the TRWA by KBB, which consisted of over $500 worth of plants.  Brittney and Michelle provided the women power to plant these trees while they allowed me to provided the instruction on the planting and where to plant. How much better can it get, donating the trees then planting them while I got to supervise.  The Tuckaleechee Garden Club and myself cannot thank Keep Blount Beautiful enough for their continued support and commitment to the Townsend River Walk & Arboretum.

During this Christmas Season please consider donating to both Keep Blount Beautiful and the Townsend River Walk & Arboretum so that the important work of both organizations can continue for the residents of Blount County, TN.
