You may have recently noticed the green “gator bags” attached to some of the small trees in the street rights-of-way throughout the City. The bags have been placed on our young trees by the City of Greenville Public Services Department to provide water to these vulnerable members of our urban forest. You can join with the City of Greenville to do your part in helping our trees make it through this extremely dry weather. When you water your lawns, and other plants, don’t forget that tree(s) out in your front yard by the street. It needs water too! If we all pitch in with a little extra effort (and water), we can help to maintain one of Greenville’s many natural assets.  Thanks for your help!
