Florida Arbor Day was Jan. 16, but members of the Ocean Ridge Garden Club got a head start, planting a native gumbo limbo tree to mark the occasion a week earlier. Club members say early in the year is the perfect time to plant trees, though they will require watering to get established before the hotter spring temperatures arrive. This tree was donated by a club member.
