Cindy’s garden built Higley Garden Cart

|

Cindy and Richard Dixon would be your average couple were it not for their passions for gardening, nature, community, and animals—they have four rescue cats and a rescue dog. Cindy was always passionate about gardening but was too busy raising three daughters and teaching fitness classes to pursue her gardening hobby for any length of time.

History

Arbor Day and the Arbor Day Foundation

|

In 1872, the first Arbor Day was celebrated in Nebraska. J. Sterling Morton, a resident of Nebraska City, was a tree enthusiast who recognized that the lack of trees, and all their benefits, in tree-bare Nebraska Territory was a serious deficit to the land and its people. When he became secretary of the territory, he was in a position to advocate strongly for the widespread planting of trees and is credited for bringing the holiday into being.
