Send your school’s best to [email protected] by Oct 27th so they can win prizes at our Arbor Day Celebration! 🌲🎨

Want to help your trees? Lay down some mulch, but don't let it touch the trunks!

You know what would really make your trees happy right now? Applying a nice 2-4 inch deep layer of mulch under the entire canopy. Mulch helps hold moisture in the soil and keeps roots cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Just be sure to keep the mulch away from the trunk. Leave at least a few inches between the trunk and the mulch. You can learn more about mulching and other fall gardening tasks at our free presentation, Fall is for Gardening, tonight, at the Conway branch of the Faulkner County Library, September 17, at 5:30 pm.

It's berry picking time!

Visit our blackberry patch behind the library. Feel free to pick what you need!
If the berries come off easily with a gentle tug, they're ready. If they don't want to let go, give them another day or two - unless you like 'em tart :)
Our blackberry patch was made possible by a donation from Conway Trees (Conway Tree Board) with help from the Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service and a kind patron who donated the plants.

You can learn how to properly care for trees and prepare to take the certified arborist exam at this workshop.

This workshop is designed to address exam topics that have historically shown to be more difficult to pass on ISA exams.
