ARLINGTON, Va. — Hundreds of landscapers from across the nation will donate their time and expertise Monday to beautifying Arlington National Cemetery.
Landscape, lawn care and tree care specialists will spend the day mulching, cabling trees with lightning protection and performing a variety of other services.
It’s the 13th year for the annual “Renewal & Remembrance” project, which is hosted by the Professional Landcare Network, known as PLANET. The gift is valued at more than $350,000 in services, materials and labor. PLANET has contributed more than $2 million to the care of the historic cemetery since the inaugural project 13 years ago.
Monday’s event includes projects for children of PLANET members. Kids will plant flowers and participate in the laying of a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
