Thank you to Lubbock Arts Alliance for inviting us to celebrate Bloom. Thank you to .marie for beeing so creative on this project!

See you there!

🌳 Free Trees, Round 2! Pick up your HEB groceries, a free tree, and learn how to prepare, plant, and water the newest member of your yard that will provide shade, increase property value, and support the ecosystem.

🌱Swipe through for a few shots of our last tree giveaway with education. It was inspiring to see so many people learning how to make sure their tree survives—from making sure roots aren’t spiraling at planting, to keeping the root collar uncovered (donuts, not volcanos!) to watering enough (5–10 gallons, 2xs per week during our hottest weather!). Trees need water, too!

Come learn with us!

🌳Recoge tus compras de HEB, un árbol gratis y aprende a prepararlo, plantarlo y regarlo. Este nuevo miembro de tu jardín te dará sombra, aumentará el valor de tu propiedad y contribuirá al ecosistema.

🌱Desliza para ver algunas fotos de nuestra última entrega de árboles con información educativa. Fue inspirador ver a tantas personas aprendiendo cómo asegurar la supervivencia de su árbol: desde evitar que las raíces se enrosquen al plantarlo, hasta mantener el cuello de la raíz descubierto (¡como una rosquilla, no como un volcán!) y regarlo lo suficiente (de 5 a 10 galones, dos veces por semana durante los meses más calurosos). ¡Los árboles también necesitan agua! 💧

¡Ven a aprender con nosotros!
