Need to green-up your home? Need some
shade? The City of Orlando wants to help you build and maintain a healthy
urban forest.
The Parks Bureau has two tree-planting programs: one
for individuals and one for neighborhood groups or associations. Check
out the details and apply on-line.
Trees In The Parkway
Available to individual homeowners. Trees are planted in the Parkway
(right-of-way) along the City street. City determines most appropriate
tree for location. Owner must agree to water, feed and care for tree
until established. Free, no cost to homeowner.
Trees To Good Homes
The “Trees to Good Homes” program is dedicated to greening the property of
homeowners within the City of Orlando. The City will work with neighborhood
groups to help select the right tree for the right spot by giving an
opportunity to purchase trees at wholesale price to plant on private property.
The
minimum order per delivery is 15
trees.
Neighborhood groups are asked to help organize
citizens who would like trees, assist in raising funds to buy the trees and be
willing to plant the trees.
Trees will be available in two sizes: 15 gallon, 6’-8’
tall, about 40lbs, approximately $50 each; or 30 gallon, 8’-10’, about 125lbs,
and approximately $100.
