Tree Giveaway
Sunday, April 10, 9–11AM

Families, individuals and community groups are invited to pick up a free tree to plant on private property in New York City's five boroughs. Staff horticulturists will help with your selection. Simple tree planting and care instructions will be available. All you need is a spade, a place to plant and access to water. Trees will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.

Visitors will be able to chose from the Allegheny serviceberry (Amelanchier laevis), the eastern redbud (Cercis canadensis), the royal star magnolia (Magnolia stellata ‘Royal Star'), the Redspire flowering pear (Pyrus calleryana ‘Redspire') and the Bur oak (Quercus macrocarpa).


This event is presented by Wave Hill in partnership with New York Restoration Project and MillionTreesNYC, and through the generous support of Put Down Roots tree-giveaway sponsor JetBlue Airways, and MillionTreesNYC lead sponsors BNP Paribas and Toyota.



A 28-acre public garden and cultural center overlooking the Hudson River and Palisades, Wave Hill's mission is to celebrate the artistry and legacy of its gardens and landscapes, to preserve its magnificent views, and to explore human connections to the natural world through programs in horticulture, education and the arts.
