Monsters live in this tree named "Tree" at Atkinson Common. But the leaves smell like flowers and the trunk is very smooth. |
Good weather held out for Friends of Newburyport Tree's second annual Tree Party for Kids at Atkinson Common this morning. The preschoolers were asked to draw a picture of their favorite tree in the park. Everyone brought a blanket to sit on near the tennis courts and enjoyed their snacks and the fresh air. Stephanie Pellegrini, a board member of FONT and mother of pre-schoolers herself organized age appropriate activities for the kids as a celebration for Arbor Day. Tomorrow morning will be the first annual Arbor Day event for all ages, with a tree pruning demonstration and a tour of the park. It's a good chance to learn the names of the trees with such a large variety of species as there is in Atkinson Common.
