Plant a Tree for Tennessee 2026

4/1/2026

 
By reserving trees here, you agree to the following: 
​
  • You understand this is a nonprofit volunteer activity intended to improve our environment and you will plant your tree on April 18-21, or a soon as possible after receiving your trees.
 
  • Double-check the spelling of your email address when checking out. We want to make sure you receive your confirmation receipt. If you see a credit card charge but didn't receive a receipt, please check your spam folder. If you do not see a charge on your credit card, your order did not go through and you should try again.
 
  • Tree species are subject to availability. In the unlikely event your tree species will not be available, we will offer a similar species, or a full refund if your prefer. We recommend ordering at least two trees. 
 
  • You agree to pick up the seedlings on April 18, 2026 between 9am-12pm. If your plans change and you are unavailable, you should arrange for a family member or friend to pick trees up for you. You understand that if you fail to pick trees up during that time, they may be donated to someone else. We may NOT be available by phone or email to help you find this information on the day of pick up, but you can find all of the needed information on this page and in the emails we are sending. You understand that pick-up site leaders are volunteers and are not employees of Green Interchange. 
 
  • Please bring your own plastic bag to the pickup location. You may also bring a few paper towels moistened with water to keep roots damp until you are ready to plant. 
 
  • You have read instructions on how to plant your tree, you will plant the tree where it is most likely to thrive, and you will avoid planting too close to structures or utility lines. Call your city to find out where underground utility lines are on your property (811 in Nashville).
 
  • You understand that if an extraordinary event beyond our control occurs, including but not limited to fire, flood, hurricane, earthquake, lightning, explosion, strikes, lockouts, slowdowns, shortage of energy supplies, pandemics, war, riots, and acts of governmental action prohibiting or impeding any party from performing its respective obligations for this event, we will do our best to deliver your trees during the agreed-upon day and time but may need to delay tree delivery. If rescheduling is necessary, we will announce and email an updated date as soon as possible. 
 
  • You acknowledge that you have the physical capacity reasonably necessary to engage in this activity you waive all claims that you might have against Green Interchange and its agents, employees, sponsoring organizations, or other volunteers for bodily injuries that you might suffer arising out of your participation.
 
  •  You will receive confirmation and reminder emails for this event only. If you subscribe you will continue to receive our emails about other Green Interchange events and activities. 
 
  • After planting, please take pictures of your tree and post them on social media with the hashtag #plantatreefortn and tag @greeninterchange. You can also send pictures or feedback to us to let us know how your tree is doing at [email protected]. If you are in Davidson County, please register your qualified tree on the Root Nashville Tree Plotter one year after planting it.

DAY OF EVENT INFO: 
What if the weather is bad?  
This event will happen rain or shine. Only if there is extreme weather such as torrential rain, severe lightening/thunderstorms, tornadoes, etc, will we consider rescheduling and will try to reach out to you via email.  

What if I can't pickup on Saturday 4/18 ?  
Please ask someone to pick up your trees on your behalf if you can't make it. This is a one-day event run by volunteers. We do not have a physical location or another way to get trees to you. If you don't pick them up on April 18, you may not get your trees. Scroll down for more information on what to do if you miss your pickup.    

What if my trees aren't at the site?    
Make sure you go to the right pickup location.Pickup sites are run by volunteers so please contact us if there are any issues. 


Bring your own bag to keep tree roots moist until planted!
Pickup sites will NOT have bags for your trees. Bring one plastic bag to cover the roots for each different species you ordered. The plastic bags used at a grocery store checkout or in the produce section are the perfect size. You can fit roots for up to 10 trees in one plastic bag. If you do not go straight home after pickup - bring some paper towels or newspaper, moisten with water, and cover the roots before putting in the bag. If the roots dry out, the trees will not survive. Please mark each bag with the species name so you can tell them apart when you go to plant them!    ​​
