Hailey Arbor Day Celebration
Project Description
The Hailey Tree Committee hosted an Arbor Day celebration on Saturday, May 7th, 2011 from 11:00 to 1:00 at Hop Porter Park. Festivities included food and drink, an “Ask an Arborist” booth staffed by local certified arborists, fun for the kids including a bouncy house and, of course, tree planting demonstrations and lots of useful tree information for all. Hailey is also celebrating a transplanting effort involving moving trees from the Rodeo Grounds re-development site to Hop Porter Park.

E.W. Fox Demonstration Garden
Project Description
The E.W. Fox Demonstration Garden is a water-conserving, low maintenance landscape displaying drought tolerant and native species appropriate for planting in and around the City of Hailey. The garden provides habitat for "Watchable Wildlife" and particularly for bird species by including diverse tree, shrub and perennial species. The garden includes botanical markers, "how-to" gardening interpretive signs, an entryway information sign, solar power for the drip irrigation system, benches, a dry streambed and three pathways made from distinct reclaimed materials. The E.W. Fox Demonstration Garden Interpretive Guide & Plant List provides more detail for garden visitors.
