POLLINATOR WEEK TREE AND SHRUB GIVEAWAY!
This fantastic event comes to you courtesy of the Guildwood Village Community Association, Friends of Guild Park and the City of Toronto. Our native tree and shrub giveaway is open to all residents of Toronto and we particularly encourage our neighbours in Scarborough to participate. All trees and shrubs must be planted on private property within the City of Toronto boundaries.
Native trees and shrubs are critical to the survival of our birds, insects and wildlife, providing shelter and food throughout the seasons. They are equally important in helping us increase our tree canopy in Toronto, which improves the air quality and environment for all of us. Trees come in 1- 2 gallon buckets and are small enough to carry on the TTC or sit in the back of a car.
TO ORDER:
Please go to the ticket button to make your selections (MAXIMUM OF 4 TREES AND/OR SHRUBS PER HOUSEHOLD) and place your order BEFORE MAY 31st. Order early to ensure that you are able to reserve the plants you want.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- Please do not order more than 4 trees and shrubs in total! If you do, your order will be cancelled.
- There is a MAXIMUM of two trees or shrubs per species! Please don't create separate orders to get more!
- PRE-ORDERING IS REQUIRED AND SUPPLIES ARE LIMITED! Please note that this giveaway is subject to availability and quantities are limited. Order early to ensure that you receive the trees or shrubs that you want.
- PICK UP LOCATION AND TIME: The pick up location will be Guild Park & Gardens. We will be in touch confirming the pickup process and further details a week in advance of the pickup date. Trees and shrubs must be picked up on June 15th between 10 am and 1 pm and we cannot hold them for later pick up or make any alternate arrangements.
FOOD BANK DONATIONS WELCOMED!
