Treekeepers class

So, I am taking is great course about trees it is a month long course that trains you on tree ID, biology, pruning, planting and mulch. I am so excited to learn more about the proper care and internal workings of these garden structures.
 
Last week we were given this book which helps you ID trees and I highly recommend. It is a step by step guide to helping you ID many trees. It can also fit in your pocket so you can take it on your walks.
