Green thumbs and nature lovers, mark your calendars because the city's annual tree sale with Tree Trust is sprouting up on March 1. But why wait? Sneak a peek at the leafy lineup starting now. The city has unfurled its collection of trees for residents to peruse before the sale officially kicks off. Just remember, it's a first-come, first-served kind of deal, so once they're gone, they're gone.
Potential tree planters can head over to the Municipal Service Center for pickup on two days: the morning of Saturday, May 4 from 8 a.m. to noon and on Monday, May 6, after work, from 5 to 7 p.m. After being purchased, eager beavers can plant the trees themselves, or if wrestling with dirt and roots isn't your style, the city's offering a hand. They’ve got two tree planting programs; one's full-service and the other's the newbie, Shade SLP Plus program.
For those looking to flex their green muscle but prefer to steer clear of the grunt work, the city's got you covered. The full-service planting options are a perfect fit. According to the city's official statement, all you need to do is pick your tree, and the city will handle the heavy lifting. They'll put your tree in the ground for you.
A new Shade SLP Plus program is now thrown into the mix, likely to catch the eye of those looking for more variety in the local canopy. No details were spared when, with promised ease and efficiency, it was revealed by the city's announcement. In case you're counting the days, the tree sale will run till every last sapling finds a home. So if you've got a spot in your yard aching for some arboreal love, don't dilly-dally.
