Principles for selecting tree species and identifying planting locations most appropriate for them will be discussed and each participant will be able to choose a tree appropriate for their site. Advance registration required.

Great! The Homeowners Workshop is a great opportunity to get some expert advise on creating a treescape for your residential property.
Not only is the advice FREE but all participants also get a FREE shade tree for their yard.
You can't beat it!
