A big thank you to the Ashton Heights Civic Association (AHCA) for their Tree Canopy Campaign! In December, volunteers planted three trees at Columbia Gardens, part of 92 young canopy trees that were installed throughout the neighborhood. Trees come with a post and sign identifying their species. They are 2-5 feet tall and will start growing right away. AHCA received a state grant to fund a total of 120 trees and will be planting 38 more trees in March. Would you like a young tree in your yard? Contact brooke.alexander52@gmail.com for a consultation.

Pictured at Columbia Gardens are (L-R): Ron Rosenberg, AHCA representative; Daun Frankland, cemetery owner; Brooke Alexander, Co-Chair, Tree Canopy Campaign: and volunteer installers Nancy Hopper and Mike Brown.

As part of our new road construction project, Columbia Gardens created a dry swale, a shallow channel designed to temporarily store and treat stormwater runoff. The dry swale is designed to slow down the flow of water. It is comprised of layers of engineered soil and gravel with an underdrain system. We planted the dry swale with native plants and grasses to help prevent erosion and filter the water. It is an attractive — and highly functional — addition to the Columbia Gardens landscape.
