AEDF has collaborated with Peter Garner of Gardner Construction, LLC, to beautify Algiers by planting 125 trees along Texas, Bender, and Memorial Park Dr.

Started by former AEDF Executive Director, Kelsey Foster, and continued by current ED, LaVerne Toombs, this initiative has been in the works for a while now and we are proud to say it has come into fruition.

We can’t wait to see the progression of the trees over the years and they will continue to flourish and grow along with our beloved Algiers.
