Laurelwood TreeStore
March 13, 2021, 9:00 AM - 11:30 AM
Having completed a NeighborWoods Application TreesCharlotte is pleased to partner with the Laurelwood neighborhood to provide trees to their residents. Laurelwood residents will be picking up their trees during our SouthPark Zip Code TreeStore on Saturday, March 13 at the Harris YMCA. What a great way to add more shade and beauty to your neighborhood!
To ensure the event follows social distancing guidelines, details are different from our typical TreeStores, so read carefully:
Here’s what you need to know:
- You must pre-register. Registration opens at 10 am Fri, Feb. 26. (link will be below available species) and closes when we “sell out” of trees or at 11:59pm Mon. March 1.
- Each Laurelwood address can get up to 2 trees. While the registration form does not limit the total number of trees, households requesting more than 2 trees will be notified and removed.
- A valid email address is required to register and proof of residency (ie drivers license, utility bill) must be provided at the event.
- The event will be drive-thru only to limit personal contact. You will be expected to load your own trees and mulch.
- To respect guidelines around large gatherings and to limit the number of registrants on-site at any one time, we are implementing staggered pick up times. On the registration form, you will choose a time-frame to pick up your trees.
- About the trees: The trees are in 3, 5 and 7-gallon containers, measure 6-12 feet tall, and weigh about 10-15 pounds. The mulch weighs 25 pounds/bag. Links to the species we are offering are provided below. Please do your homework to ensure you’re putting the right tree in the right place. Once registered, selections are final and cannot be changed.
- TreesCharlotte will send a follow-up email with planting instructions – including a planting video – watering instructions and specific information about the species you select.
TreesCharlotte is a non-profit organization that relies on donations to be able to host events like this. Donations are greatly appreciated and help us give more trees to Charlotte residents.
Below are the trees we hope to offer that you’ll be able to choose from during registration. The registration link will appear here at 10am on Friday, February 26.
Quantities are limited. Register early to ensure the best selection. Selections are final and once registered, cannot be changed.
