Mother Nature seemed to cooperate by providing some much-needed rain during Tree Conservancy of Darien’s planting of 25 trees at the Spring Grove Cemetery and next-door Veterans Cemetery. Tree Conservancy’s most recent project along Hecker Avenue and the Post Road in Darien was completed last week.
