Wilmore Farmers' Market Returns Saturdays
"Shop Wilmore’s Farmers’ Market each Saturday morning, beginning May 2 and ending October 25 for locally grown produce, specialty bakery items, and handcrafted gift items."
Arbor Day Events & Volunteer Opportunities
"Arbor Day this year is Friday, April 24. That week, a number of tree-related events are scheduled in Wilmore. The aim is to continue expanding Wilmore’s lush tree canopy so our city grows healthier, greener, and more delightful as days and years roll by.
Volunteers are needed to help with tree-planting, especially April 21 through 25. Various events are planned, some at Centennial Park and at Woodbreeze Park (the minipark by Woodspointe Way and Jessamine Station Road), and some on the property of Asbury Seminary and the Thomson-Hood Veterans Center. Some trees will be available for planting also on residential properties.
Students, adults, and children ten years and up (if accompanied by adults) are welcome to volunteer for two or three hours (depending on the day and planting schedule). [To help as a volunteer, or for more information, contact Amy Fitch, Director of Parks and Recreation ([email protected]) or Howard Snyder, committee chair ([email protected]).
The vision of Trees for Wilmore is long-term, and the focus is on a broad variety of native species, rather than non-native or invasive trees that do damage over time. We aim to plant more than 6,000 trees over the next six years—healthy, beautiful, nurturing trees that may in time grow taller than any of Wilmore’s existing buildings, and will likely outlast most of them. Some trees can continue growing healthily and nurturing the environment for 2,000 years and more, and everyone benefits.
The next regular meeting of Trees for Wilmore will be Thursday, May 28, at 4:00 pm at the Municipal Center. Visitors and new committee members are welcome. (The committee will not meet during April due to the tree-planting activities).
More information about Trees for Wilmore, including upcoming events and the Trees for Wilmore brochure, are available on the City of Wilmore website — https://wilmore.org/trees-for-wilmore/."
