Thank you Howell Township Shade Tree Commission for providing some wonderful native shrubs as we begin transforming our landscape. We have them all planted and ready for the next phase!

We support the amazing efforts your team goes through to provide native and ecological foliage to our residents. Looking forward to partnering again in the future!
