Arbor Day in Hoover is the result of a continued partnership between the City of Hoover, Hoover City School System, Alabama Power, Aldridge Gardens, local businesses, and numerous volunteers. These partners believe in the value trees bring to our community and they understand the importance of planting the right tree in the right place.
