Ozanam, A Residential and Day Treatment Program in Martin City for boys and girls ages 12 to 18, entered Rosehill Gardens 100th Anniversary Tree Giveaway in March and after a lot of hard work to drum up votes on Facebook, finally won three trees!
Rosehill team members went out in August and planted three maple trees on Ozanam’s grounds where there used to be Ash trees lining the edge of the road. Some of those trees have died so it left a big empty space. Because of the Emerald Ash Borer beetle destroying some of the trees in the area, Rosehill gave them a few other options and they chose maple trees. “They are doing their best to save some of the ash trees remaining in their courtyard,” says Curtis Stroud, owner of Rosehill Gardens. “They will likely need to replace the street trees with maples sometime in the near future so we are happy to be able to start the ball rolling.”
