by Mizzou Botanic Garden

Benefits of planting trees on your property are well-documented, including cooling shade, increased
property values, more bird song and the fact that spending time under a tree can improve your
mental health.
Not every home landscape can support a majestic oak, but one or two beautiful mid-Missourifriendly
smaller trees might fit right in. In celebration of Arbor Day, Mizzou Botanic Garden is
partnering with MU Landscape Service’s Urban Forester Sam Wright for a presentation on some
possibilities. Participants will receive a map of the MU campus — now designated as an arboretum!
— for a self-guided tour of the possibilities.
When: Thursday, April 2 at 6 p.m.
Where: MU’s Gwynn Hall Lounge
