Urban Canopy Works Earns SBA Designation

4/5/2021

Urban Canopy Works Owners Jenny Gulick and Rachel Comte are honored to receive the Woman Owned Small Business designation from the U.S. Small Business Association (SBA). The SBA helps entrepreneurs launch new businesses, and compete in the marketplace. Applicants to the Women Owned Small Business Program (WOSB) must be a small business that is 51% owned by women, with women managing day-to-day operations and making long-term decisions. "We're very happy to receive this designation,” said Jenny Gulick. “To me, it symbolizes that we had the courage to take a chance, and that we believed in ourselves and our ability to succeed doing what we love.”

Fall is for Planting

9/24/2020

The best time to plant is 20 years ago. The second best time is today.

Why fall? Well, the truth is you can plant trees anytime of year (assuming the ground isn't frozen, of course). But fall is the most ideal time to plant for a number of reasons:

Tree can focus on root development instead of supporting leaf growth.
Temperatures are typically moderate with less chance for trees to be stressed by extreme heat.
Frequent rains helps trees establish their root systems.
When the air temps are cooler than soil temps, new root growth is encouraged without new top growth, resulting in stronger root system before spring.
