In 1995, California ReLeaf granted funds to Patrick’s Point Garden Club to plant 25 flowering cherry trees in Trinidad. Today, those trees have reached maturity thanks to the care and stewardship of the club. The care and maintenance of those trees is now being turned over to the City of Trinidad. To read more about these trees and the measures taken to make sure they thrived, read an article in the Times-Standard.
