Plant a Tree for Tennessee 2026 - April 18th 9am - 12pm cst
Plant a Tree for Tennessee is a grassroots effort to make it easy and affordable for residents across the state to plant native trees in their yards and neighborhoods. By putting native seedlings directly into the hands of communities, we’re supporting pollinators, strengthening local ecosystems, and expanding green space where it’s needed most.
This spring we’re offering Eastern Redbud, American Beautyberry, Buttonbush, Ninebark, Dogwood, Sycamore, and Wild Plum.
Our statewide tree distribution will take place April 18th from 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM CST, with sites currently being finalized. Seedlings are just $2.99 each, making it easy for families and neighborhoods to participate.
This year, we’re thrilled to share that we sold over 60 of our larger trees as part of our Plant a Bigger Tree for Tennessee program! A huge shoutout to Renia Falcone from Primex Color Compounding & Additives and Kristin England from MTSU for their incredible help distributing trees and supporting this effort. If you’re interested in getting involved in future events or adding native trees to your yard, be sure to sign up for our newsletter below to stay in the loop!
