Crown Hill Arboretum is making 200 Native Tree Seedlings available to neighbors and visitors to Crown Hill Cemetery the Week of April 21,2025. NO ticket required - tree seedlings will be available for free to the public on the front porch of our Waiting Station offices (red brick building), which is located right inside the Gothic Gate. There will be a range of native trees available on a first come first served basis. We are asking that visitors take one tree per person/household so that we can share with a greater amount of families in our community!
Seedlings are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. A limited supply will be available.
Information on individual tree characteristics will be available on site along with details on how to properly plant and care for your new baby tree. Our Arboretum Director will also be available throughout the week to answer questions.
