Five Ways to Celebrate Arbor Day in Honor of the Holidays’ 150th Anniversary

This is a special year for the Arbor Day Foundation (ADF), marking two historic milestones: the 150th anniversary of the Arbor Day holiday and the 50th anniversary of the Foundation. Frank Family is proud to partner with the ADF this April to support the planting of trees in forests across the West Coast and to be a part of their community who has helped plant nearly 500 million trees since their founding in 1972. In honor of our partnership and this momentous occasion, we’re providing several easy and fun ways to celebrate alongside them. 

Plant a Tree

Tree planting is the core of what Arbor Day is all about, and planting a tree in your yard or local park would be carrying on a legacy that is 150 years old. We encourage you to browse the many flowering, fruit, and evergreen trees available at the Arbor Day online Tree Nursery. Discover the best trees for your area and feel good knowing that every order placed, plants a tree in one of our nation’s forests. 

Before planting, be sure to watch Frank Family’s tree planting guidelines video for the best tips to keep your trees healthy! 

Spend Time Outdoors

Whether you’re hiking through your favorite National Forest or playing with your family at a community park, simply spending time surrounded by trees is a great way to spend the holiday dedicated to them. If you find yourself in Napa Valley, check out our favorite trails in wine country.

Toast with Frank Family Blanc de Blancs

This month, when you buy a bottle of 2015 Blanc de Blancs, Frank Family will support the planting of 6 trees in partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation. Each tree will be planted in the Willamette National Forest in central Oregon, which was left in dire need of replanting following the 2020 Holiday Farm Fire.
