This fall the Bowling Green Tree Commission will hold three free seminars. Each seminar will begin at 9 a.m. in the classroom at Simpson Garden Park, and end by 11 a.m.
- Sept. 17 – What’s wrong with my tree? We will discuss the steps in learning how to diagnose what is wrong with trees and shrubs. Most of the class will be spent walking through Simpson Garden Park looking at problems caused by insects, disease, and environmental stress.
- Oct. 8 – Getting the Soil Right for Trees. Matching a tree to the soil conditions at the site is extremely important for its survival. Those attending will learn about soil types, drainage, soil pH, and compaction and how to properly select trees to match these conditions.
- Nov. 12 – Protecting Trees during Construction. We will discuss how to protect trees during construction projects and how to selecting building materials can help with stormwater run-off and allow air and water to reach tree roots.
