Mar 29, 2025- Culpepper Place of Olive Branch is a senior care and retirement community which is located in Olive Branch. It was the setting in March when the DeSoto Civic Garden Club (DCGC) completed the planting of a crepe myrtle tree to complete their Arbor Day celebration.
The DCGC was pleased to donate the tree to Culpepper Place for the residents to enjoy and also a reminder of the importance of trees and their contribution to the environment.
