Memory tree
Arlington Kiwanis Club members will honor George Boulton for his lifetime service to the club by planting a flowering pink snowbell tree March 30 in the City Hall plaza. He owned Flowers by George in town, which still is in the family.
Kiwanis selected the Marley’s Pink Japanese Snowbell because of its spring color corresponding to Boulton’s May birthday and because the tree has pink blossoms and a “cotton candy” fragrance. To coincide with the event, the city is declaring March 30 Arbor Day in Arlington.
