The City of Palm Coast hosted its 20th annual Arbor Day Celebration on Saturday, May 3.
The event, held at Central Park in Town Center, included a tree giveaway provided by Flowing Well Tree Farm, as well as a walk-through butterfly tent. Residents received a free 3-gallon tree in exchange for a non-perishable food item donation for the local food bank.
"For 20 years, Palm Coast’s Arbor Day has been about celebrating our environment, giving back, and bringing the community together,” said City of Palm Coast Urban Forester Carol Mini in a press release prior to the event. “This year, we’re making it bigger and better than ever, and we can’t wait to celebrate with everyone!"
