Palm, Pine, or Maple, it always is true – half of the tree will be hidden from you! Learn about the importance of roots by listening to a reading of What Do Roots Do? by Kathleen V. Kudlinski as a part of Earth Month in Westinghouse Park. Look closely at the roots of plants, then plant your own seed to take home.
Special thanks to our presenting sponsor, The Jack Buncher Foundation, for supporting this year’s Earth Month festivities!
Additional support for Earth Month comes from Giant Eagle.
