LGC Members Claire Torry and Julie Haack, Bernard Wheeler (spouse of member Edna Wheeler), Joe Broussard (spouse of member Linda Broussard), Douglas Moody (spouse of member Claire Moody) and John Augustine (spouse of member Donna Augustine).

The tree was planted at the Mouton Park at 319 Joy Street, Lafayette, LA.

Arbor Day Tree Planting

Each year on the third Friday in January, the Lafayette Garden Club partners with the City of Lafayette for a public tree planting ceremony in celebration of Arbor Day.
The City selects the location and maintains the tree, with past plantings taking place in areas like Maurice Heymann Memorial Park, Acadian Village, and along Camellia Boulevard.

This tradition helps beautify Acadiana while contributing to the community's green spaces for future generations.
