Reforesting Asheville is not a one-day effort—it’s a long-term commitment. We’re in this for the long haul, and we’re so grateful you are too.

Thank you for your passion, patience, and commitment to bringing back our tree canopy!

Tree Distribution FAQs

    • Tree distribution seasons are fall (October-December) and spring (March-May).

    • Typically at Sand Hill Nursery (24 Apac Circle, Candler, NC 28715, housed within the Buncombe County Sports Park).

    • Sometimes we host smaller tree distributions out in the community, keep an eye on our social media and email list for special events.

    • We ask that you reserve a limited number of trees, so that others can reserve some too. Some events will have defined limits.

    • If you are interested in multiple trees for municipalities/organizations - please see our sliding scale.

  • All orders should receive an order confirmation email. Please check your spam folder searching either “Squarespace“ or “Asheville GreenWorks“. If you cannot find an email in your spam or inbox, please reach out to Daphne at daphneh@ashevillegreenworks.org.

    • Either reserve here on our online tree shop, or on a first-come, first-served basis. Details will be provided for each distribution.

    • Trees are free! Donations are much appreciated to help keep our programs thriving - click the donate button in the tree shop!

    • Some examples of species we have: black locust, sycamore, oaks, elderberry, redbuds, beautyberry, flowering dogwood, sweet shrub, all-spice, persimmon, maples, hickory.

    • Visit NC Extension to learn more about specific tree species.

    • Sign up for our All Things Trees email list! That is where all the information for upcoming dates and details will be sent out.

    • Trees often sell out quickly. We will be hosting free tree distributions for years to come so don’t get discouraged, there will be plenty of trees to go around.
