Guelph Grows Together | City of Guelph Community Tree Giveaway

Registration now open! Here's how:

This year, we have 2,000 trees up for grabs. Registration closes at 11:59 p.m. on May 6 or when stock runs out. Once claimed, your tree will be available for pickup from Riverside Park (709 Woolwich Street, Guelph) on May 9, at a pickup time of your choosing.

Once registration opens on April 22, trees are available on a first-come, first-served basis to Guelph residents. Each Guelph address can claim a maximum of two trees – please don’t have multiple members of a household registering for more than the maximum, we want everyone to have a chance to add a tree to their yard.

To claim your free tree all you need to do is register through Eventbrite once the ticket system opens following these steps:

• Starting at 10 a.m. on April 22, register through Eventbrite to claim your tree(s).
• When registering, choose your pickup time from the available options. To keep the pickup process smooth for everyone, it’s important that you collect your trees during your designated pickup time. While alternate pickup dates are not available, someone else can collect your tree(s) on your behalf if needed. Simply forward them your registration confirmation and pickup time.
• With your pickup time chosen, pick the tree species you want from the available add-on options (scroll down to see the tree species). Please make sure to specify at least one tree type, but no more than two trees in total. If you claim more than two, your registration will be cancelled.
• On May 9, pick up your tree(s) from Riverside Park during your chosen timeslot.
• Plant and enjoy your tree(s)! Make sure to get utility clearance: submit your free request through Ontario One Call at .

If you claim a free tree, you’re responsible for planting and caring for the tree, including getting utility clearance before digging.

We have a variety of tree species available! If you’re not sure what tree type might fit your yard, check out our Community Tree Giveaway webpage for guidance on species that have lovely fall colours, grow beautiful flowers, enjoy the shade and more. Stock of each species is limited, so be sure to claim the species you want sooner rather than later.

Before planting a tree in your yard make sure to submit a free request with Ontario One Call at ontarioonecall.ca so you don’t damage underground pipes and wires.
