The Christian County Master Gardeners are gearing up for a Tree Walk, taking place October 21st, from 2:00 P.M. to 4:00, at Linda Kehias’s 75-acre arboretum. The tree walk has become something of a tradition for the Master gardeners as this will be the third consecutive year of education and enjoyment on the grounds of the Kehias property.

Linda Kehias is a Master Gardener graduate and now cares for the landscape of trees and gardens, giving the local community an opportunity to witness the best that nature has to offer.

Speaking about the upcoming tree walk was Master gardeners, Gwen Podeschi and Linda Smith. Smith says that Kehias has stuck to her goal of planting and cultivating trees that are native to Central Illinois.

Leading the tree walk tours will be Master Gardener, Gwen Podeschi. Podeschi provides insight into the wide variety of trees attendees will be able to view.

Podeschi continues saying the Kehias property is not a mono-culture, many different species of trees reside within the 75-acre arboretum.

Kehias Farm is located at 2152 Illinois Route 16 in Pana.

Registration for the tree walk is required and will be due October 16th. For tree walk sign-up visit, go.illinois.edu/cjmm, or call 217-287-7246.

Gwen Podeschi and Linda Smith appeared as guests on the WTIM Morning Show.
