		<description><![CDATA[Arbor Month starts today, and isn&#8217;t it also the first day of spring?  In any case, you have a month to plant a tree and some of the larger supermarkets (Pick &#8216;n Pay, Woolworths, maybe others?) have made it really easy, selling young, indigenous trees in the flower aisle.
