FREE TREE GIVEAWAY — Winter Haven! 
Add a new tree to your plans next weekend!

Join us at South Central Park on Saturday January 17th for a free tree giveaway for your property.

Winter Haven residents can choose from three native Florida trees, including:

  1. Dahoon Holly (Ilex cassine)
  2. Bald Cypress (Taxodium distichum)
  3. Seagrape (Coccoloba uvifera)

More than just a giveaway!
Participants will rotate through 3 hands-on learning stations to learn:

  • How to plant a tree the right way
  • How to prune a young tree
  • How to choose the Right Tree for the Right Place

Healthy trees mean cooler neighborhoods, cleaner air, and stronger communities.
