About this Event

Disclaimer: Please arrive on time to check in and attend the planting demostration in order to properly transplant our Bare Roots!

A bare root tree is a dormant tree shipped to us with exposed roots and without soil. We need your help planting them into 15-gallon pots. Care for the urban forest by potting trees with us!

No experience is neccesary, just a willingness to work together!
