For more than 30 years, the Aptucxet Garden Club of Bourne, Massachusetts has sponsored an annual Arbor Day celebration, most often with 2nd and 3rd grade Bourne school students since these students study local history as part of their curriculum. The 2011 Arbor Day Celebration took place at Bourne’s Peebles Elementary School. The theme celebrated the 100th Arbor Day Anniversary of the nationwide Catalpa Tree Planting project. Saplings from a Catalpa tree planted at the Cataumet Schoolhouse 100 years ago were dug and conditioned for replanting on Arbor Day under the direction of garden club members including Junior Gardener chairman Laura Bergeron.
Under the guidance of Aptucxet Garden Club members and assisted by John York, local historian, five 3rd graders transplanted the Catalpa saplings from their location on the Cataumet Schoolhouse grounds into containers to prepare the saplings for replanting on Arbor Day April 29, 2011.
On Arbor Day, all 200 Peebles Elementary School students attended an Assembly along with parents, community leaders and Aptucxet Garden Club members. Students from the four 2nd grades collaborated on singing This Land is Your Land and Flowers Won’t Grow. Each class was represented by a student reading a poem.
After the Assembly, everyone moved to the school grounds where the three saplings were planted by five students, assisted by John York (garden club son) and garden club members. Annual flowers enhance the small trees and protect them from the lawn mowers until they grow larger.
The garden club provided instruction and project coordination, supplied mulch, enriched soil and watering during the first summer when no school maintenance crew is scheduled.
