April is such a special month! The weather in Texas is beginning to warm up, the trees are turning lush and green, and colorful flowers are in full bloom. It’s a time to get outside and enjoy the natural beauty around us. The air smells amazing, especially at Fannin Tree Farm, where the aroma of fresh greenery is free for all to enjoy. With Earth Day on April 22nd and National Arbor Day on April 25th, it’s the perfect time to celebrate the wonders of trees!

At Fannin Tree Farm, we believe in the incredible power of trees. From the towering trees in rainforests to the small saplings in your backyard, trees around the world are essential. They clean our air and water, provide homes for wildlife, and connect communities. Trees also have a profound impact on our health and well-being, making them an irreplaceable part of our environment.

Arbor Day is the perfect opportunity to plant a tree — whether it’s in your backyard, at your workplace, or in a local park. To help you celebrate, Fannin Tree Farm will be giving away saplings (one per family) on Arbor Day while supplies last. It’s a small way to give back to our planet and start a new tradition of planting trees!

In addition to planting trees, April is a great time to enjoy activities and books that celebrate nature. Whether you’re indoors or outside, there are plenty of ways to engage your kids in learning about the environment. Below are some fun resources for activities and book lists that will inspire your family to connect with the earth.
