Tonight in Bella Vista, the Tree Tenders group will lead a tour of the neighborhood, showing the work that the community group has done to bring greenery to the streets.

Over about 20 years, the group has been working to bring more greenery to the neighborhood. This tour will lead you from 10th and Fitzwater to the Bel Arbor Community Garden. The event will end at the PHS pop-up garden at 9th and Wharton, where you can enjoy some food and drinks with neighbors.

The group will meet at 7 p.m. at Palumbo Rec Center at 10th and Fitzwater. If you’re looking to attend tonight, you can register here.
