Almstead Around Town

Town Of Pelham -- 9/11 Memorial Flag

Arborist Dan Dalton and the Almstead crew donated their time and expertise to put up a large American Flag at the 9/11 Memorial in the Town of Pelham. The town held two Memorial Ceremonies on September 11th remembering the 10 people from the Town of Pelham who lost their lives in the terror attacks.

Teaneck Creek Conservancy Talk

New Jersey Branch Manager and arborist, Ryan Duff, held a well attended, talk and demonstration on tree planting at Teaneck Creek Conservancy on September 1st. The Teaneck Creek Conservancy is a member-supported, non-profit organization dedicated to the reclamation and protection of the environmental, cultural, and historical legacy of the Teaneck Creek watershed.

Wave Hill Gardner’s Party

Once again, Almstead sponsored the Gardner’s Party at Wave Hill public garden and cultural center in the Bronx. This year’s fund-raising event highlighted “Artistry in the Garden” and focused on the talents and contributions of garden artists who have had a significant impact on the field of horticulture. This is Almstead’s fourth year of sponsoring the event. We are thrilled to have the opportunity of giving back to this magnificent public garden and organization. The Almstead family, including Ken Almstead (CEO), Michael Almstead (VP), Richard Almstead (Founder), Dan Dalton (arborist), and their spouses attended the event. We also donated our services in the Silent Auction and presented each attendee with a kit for tagging their plants.

Almstead will be at booth #38 of the Fall Westchester Home Show at the Westchester County Center on November 5th and 6th.  Arborists from our Hawthorne and New Rochelle branch offices will be there to answer technical questions, make recommendations, and hand out Almstead goodies to attendees.
