Beat the heat: Rest beneath a tree

This interview originally aired on In the Moment on SDPB Radio.

Erik Helland invites us to sit beneath a shady tree on a South Dakota summer day.

Planting a tree will provide both temporary shade and a lasting legacy. Trees offer shelter from wind and the sun while also providing a form of art that can’t be updated or redesigned.

Helland brings first steps to adding trees to your landscaping to In the Moment. He is president and owner of Landscape Garden Centers in Sioux Falls.
