Rocky Head Start Has Busy Week with Tree Planting, Graduation

The Town of Whitehall and Whitehall Garden Club wrapped up a month of Arbor Day activities with the planting of a flowering crabapple in Legion Park. Rhea Armstrong and her assistants brought six adorable kids across the street from Rocky Head Start to help plant the tree.

Whitehall Mayor Mary Janacaro-Hensleigh read the Arbor Day Proclamation, and the youngsters took turns adding soil to the planting hole. Ron Roginske, a retired forester, taught the kids about tree growth, soil amendments, and mulch. Also helping were Diane Ward, President of the Montana Federation of Garden Clubs, and Barbara Lien of Whitehall Garden Club.
