Paris, Tenn.–Tennessee National Wildlife Refuge Ranger Joan Howe tells these boys all about trees in the first “Tree Talk” at the Atkins-Porter Neighborhood Botanical Garden Thursday. The boys said they knew all about trees but wanted to know more and Howe was happy to oblige. Howe’s presentations will be held every Thursday in June at 10:30 a.m. at the garden. The Children’s Story Hour with Kayla Nation will be held on the following Mondays–June 13, 20, 27 and July 11–at 10:30 a.m. The garden is located at 311 Jackson St. in Paris and the programs are open and free to everyone.
