LAKEPORT, Calif. – Clear Lake Trowel & Trellis Garden Club donated three trees to Lakeport for the city’s parks.

Tree Chairman Doris Ellsworth selected two ash – raywood (claret ash) and one acer maple (ariseum paperbark maple).

The trees will have good fall color and provide wonderful shade. Thanks goes to Doug Grider and Tina Banuet for all their help with the planting of these trees.

Each year the garden club budgets for civic beautification projects. There are six locations within Lakeport for these projects along with donated trees.

Clear Lake Trowel & Trellis Garden Club is celebrating its 55th anniversary this year – the club was organized in 1955.
