  • Interested in getting extra trees?

    Typically, there are leftover trees we give away at the end of our event. Your top choices may not be available, and you are not obligated to take a tree, but if you sign up for the waitlist you will be eligible to claim additional trees at the end of the event.

  • You may choose as many tree varieties as you want, up to a total of 10 trees.

  • Click "+ ADD MORE" to add another tree variety.

  • Oops! That's more than 10 trees. Please reduce quantity of one or more trees.

  • Mulching

    To improve the health and happiness of your tree, it’s important to place a 4” layer of arborist wood chips around the base of your tree after you plant it. Wood chips help retain soil moisture and improve soil heath as the chips break down.

    We are offering free arborist chips as mulching material.

  • Would you like arborist chips for your trees?
  • If you have 5 gallon buckets, leaf bags, or a similar container for the arborist chips, please bring them with you. There will be a limited supply of bags if do not have your own container.
