Happy Arbor Day! ๐ณ

Trees have long been regarded as one of our nationโs greatest resources. Big Sister Oak is over 300 years old! Sheโs the centerpiece of Moss Mountain Farm and one of my favorite places to gather with friends and family. ๐
The wisteria is almost past its peak bloom, but there's still time to catch a glimpse of this natural wonder before it's gone for the year. The allee is still a sight to behold, with cascading purple flowers and a fragrance that will transport you to a peaceful oasis.
Happy Earth Day! ๐
