Trees
Just as we have done in the past, we are making a list of those who would like trees this Spring.
EXAMPLES of past Spring bundles are below:
Mixed Bundle #1 included:
Redbud
Northern Red Oak
Indigobush (shrub)
Silky Dogwood (shrub)
Buttonbush (shrub)
Mixed bundle #2 included:
Flowering Dogwood
Paw Paw
ButtonBush (shrub)
Silky Dogwood (shrub)
Elderberry
These trees are all native to our area and come from the State of Tennessee. They have been chosen specifically for us by our local experts, including our area forester Brook Smith.
We also have dibble bars to loan to the public (an awesome tool for planting the seedlings in any terrain).
We ask for minimum donations per bundle to help cover the expense. Bundles included 5 species, $1 (donation) each. If you are not needing trees at this time but would like to donate or sponsor, we sure do need your support!
Call 865-325-2802 or email grow@smokymountainroots.org if you have questions or would like us to set trees aside for you. We are excited to be gearing up for Spring!!
