HOT TOPIC: Trees help clean the air, provide oxygen, prevent soil erosion .. and are just plain fun to climb. (From Tree People)
Right now, you can get a real deal on East Texas hardwood trees at the East Texas Arboretum.
The Arboretum recently received a donation of hundreds of the trees, and they are being sold at a drastically reduced price. According to a Axe & Answered review, some of these trees would normally retail for more than $200, but are being sold for $25-$50.
The trees are on sale through Saturday.
Arboretum Director Teresa Glasgow said the money raised will go toward building an educational “play garden” for the kids.
The Arboretum is located on Patterson Road off U.S. Highway 175. Check out their website here.
