Local oaks now on registry of MS’s Society des Arbes
SEA COAST ECHO
As part of its 2014 Arbor	Day
Celebration, the Bay-Waveland Garden Club honored the city of Bay St. Louis by sponsoring two Oak trees with the State of Mississippi Society des Arbes.
The trees are located in the city's new Edible Forest at the comer of St. Francis and Bookter streets.
The trees were measured and registered for the city by Jim Canady of the Hancock County Historical Society and Shawn Prychitko, Tree Registration Chairman for the Bay-Waveland Garden Club.
In keeping with the policies of the Society des Arbes, the trees were given names.
One is named for Alice Holmes, a 40 year member of the Garden Club, for her many years of service to the community in beautification and historic preservation. The other tree was named St. Francis in keeping with the name given to
the street by the city many years ago.
Plaques with the tree names and age were provided by the Garden Club, and official paper work from the Society des Arbes will be provided to the city by the Garden Club.
