PLANET's Renewal and Remembrance Landscape Event

Posted by Chris Sabbarese on Tue, Jul, 15, 2014 @ 16:07 PM

The grounds of Arlington National Cemetery honor those who have served our nation by providing a sense of beauty and peace for guests. Rolling green hills are dotted with trees that are hundreds of years in age and complement the gardens found throughout the 624 acres of the cemetery. This impressive landscape serves as a tribute to the service and sacrifice of every individual laid to rest within the hallowed grounds of Arlington National Cemetery. And it needs help to keep it looking its best. 

On July 28, 2014 PLANET is proud to honor America's veterans and leaders during a day of service, and welcomes volunteers to participate this nationally recognized event, Renewal and Remembrance. Each year, this event draws hundreds of landscape and lawn care professionals from across the country to Arlington National Cemetery to spend the day mulching, cabling and installing lightening protection for trees, pruning, planting, and liming and aerating more than 200 acres.
