Description

Five beautiful trees were planted early last month near the tot lot at Burnham's Field. As a regular park user, i've noticed they haven't been watered. One is turning fall colors, another has leaves that are drying out, ornamental grasses are getting crispy. As saplings they need regular deep watering to get established but will be dead in 6 weeks if left to rainwater. Weekly waterings are critical or neglect will be wasted effort a
