Jacaranda Grove Given on California Arbor Day, 2020. Within a few years, six Jacaranda trees, planted by HB Tree Society volunteers and President Jean Nagy (bottom row) along the trail paralleling Ellis Ave., should branch out, bloom, and carpet the trailside with blue trumpet flowers. California Arbor Day on March 7, brought out cadets from Sunburst Youth Academy & CalJOBS who, in partnership with the City of Huntington Beach, participated in planting the Jacaranda grove. Everyone on hand for the planting and celebration – including City Council members Kim Carr and Barbara Delgleize – enjoyed hearing songs about trees by the Threshold Choir and a tree poem read by volunteer Ann Anderson, playing Nature Bingo to earn ranger badges, and writing inspirational tags to hang on Urban Forest trees. An impromptu, requested cadence performed by the visiting volunteers added to the fun.
