Tree Adoptions

Tree Adoptions

Every year TreesLouisville distributes over 1,000 small trees through our numerous tree giveaways. This is a perfect opportunity for residents to pick up some additional foliage for their yard, completely free of charge. The sizes of the trees range from bare root sapling to a 3 gallon pot, depending on nursery availability. We offer a wide range of species to make planting a tree possible at your home no matter the size of your space or condition of your soil.

Held every Fall and Spring.
