Landscaping Information

Abbottsford has been seeking advice from experts regarding shrub health, pruning, and maintenance. We will be using this information along with other recommendations to help make the best decisions for HOA managed landscaping challenges we will be facing this year.

We would like to pass along a summary of that information to the community to perhaps assist with any boxwood, laurel, or other shrub questions you may have. Special thanks to Ashley Cantrell for meeting with so many experts to gather information for our community.

HOA managed Laurels will be cut back during the first week of May to remove dead limbs and help new growth.

Abbottsford ACTS OF KINDNESS-Recap

In February the Engagement Committee approved a proposal by Jeannine Adams and Sally Smallwood to “brighten the lives of Kids in Foster Care” by filling plastic eggs for an egg hunt.
On Monday, March 20 Sally and Jeannine turned over our collective contribution of plastic eggs filled with “goodies” to Tennessee Kids Belong. https://americaskidsbelong.org/states/tn/. 

Jeannine originally promised 500 eggs. She later increased that amount to 1000 eggs. On final count, the organizers tallied up 2400 plastic eggs!
 
Thank you, Abbottsford neighbors for your kindness and generosity! This will be meaningful to foster children in middle Tennessee!
