March Update from Everett
March 4, 2024
Hello from Garden Gate, With the mild fall into early winter, we had a new experience with our trees still going out until Christmas, and even into the first week in January. However, winter arrived about January 10th in Pasco and then the dreary cold high fog would not go away as most of you experienced.

Merry Christmas to each, as we stop to celebrate the new kingdom ushered in by God’s own Son Jesus Christ. May the peace He offers be the experience of all.

Merry Christmas. We are very thankful for your business and the privilege to share our trees on your projects. Our team at Garden Gate works hard to water, fertilize, and shape a tree that will stand the test of time in the urban environments that most of them are destined to grow in.
Come Spend Christmas at Garden Gate!

We love spending time at our Oregon home, as we call it, and leaving our home open for visitors during much of the year when we’re not there. It is a pleasure to enjoy the quiet mornings and to light a fire in the fireplace.
Happy Thanksgiving from the Wrays

“Gratitude doesn’t change the scenery. It merely washes clean the glass you look through so you can clearly see the colors” (Richelle Goodrich). With fall here bringing its magnificent change of leaf color, it is a good time to really stop, reflect and express our gratitude.

Mark informed me the trees were just watered by the sprinklers that water the grass. I am confident that is all that is needed for most trees.

We watched these trees get planted as little 1 to 1 1/4 inch caliper trees in the Lowes parking lot in Pasco, Washington about 10 years ago. They have struggled for years. Every tree is dying due to damage to the trunk.
