Celebrate Earth Day at the Moon

Go green this Earth Day by going to the Moon! Trees and plants are what really make our world “green” and planting them brings more positive effects than you may realize at first glance. Trees and plants create cleaner air, help with erosion control, and allow you to use less energy by cooling your yard and home. Here at Moon Valley Nurseries, we love trees and their benefits so much that over the last 25 years, we've planted over 15 million of them! Discover the many advantages that trees and plants bring to both you and our world and learn how to celebrate the earth every day!

TREES CREATE OXYGEN

It’s no secret that trees help the environment. We can think of trees as being the lungs of our planet. Trees create the air we breathe and filter air pollution. Planting more trees is one of the best things we can do for our local environment, and for our planet. This is why so many forward-thinking companies are beginning to create tree-planting initiatives, and at Moon Valley Nurseries, planting trees is our specialty! Planting trees can improve our quality of life too. The more we plant, the better!

Soil erosion is the loss of topsoil, which is the upper layer of soil that contains the most organic and nutrient-rich material. This can occur when we get heavy rains in our area that can cause damage to structures and piping. By planting trees and plants, you can help to negate the effects of soil erosion. Trees with hearty, deep roots are going to provide the most benefit as they tend to stabilize the soil and can help pull water out of an over-saturated area. It’s also a good idea to plant shrubs and other shallow-rooting plants to help reduce runoff by holding soil in place with their root systems.

When you plant leafy shade trees, you create multiple benefits in your landscape. To start, you are planting a tree that releases oxygen and clean air into the atmosphere. Beyond that, shade trees are able to allow your air conditioning system to more efficiently cool your home, conserving energy and lowering your electric bills at the same time! Talk about a sustainable landscape!
