Arborist Tom Ingersoll of Ingersoll Land Care conducted a three-hour workshop in April which was filled with great information about planting and maintaining our trees. The result was a beautiful Jefferson Elm tree planted on the Museum grounds. We’re very pleased to thank Tom, whose family roots lie deep in Great Barrington history, for donating his labor and equipment for the task. Also a big thank you to those intrepid homeowners who braved the weather to learn about tree care and help plant the tree! Let’s take a look:
