“The trees within our community are the unsung environmental heroes -- they enhance our quality of life by adding tremendous value aesthetically, environmentally and economically,” said Dean Carpenter, president and founder of Houston Landscapes Unlimited. “By the time these children get to college age in seven years, the tree they plant this weekend should be as tall and strong as they are. I hope some will get excited enough to consider a future in the horticulture field.” Friday’s event was coordinated by the Telfair Homeowners Association, Newland Communities and Houston Landscapes Unlimited.
