Picking Up Your Tree
Trees will be available for pick up at the City of Richmond Works Yard (5599 Lynas Lane) on Saturday, October 5, 2024. In order to receive a tree, you must provide a copy of your registration confirmation or receipt (digital or printed copy), as well as a piece of identification with the same name you registered under and your Richmond address.
It's important that your vehicle is prepared to transport the tree. Trees range in size from 3 to 6 feet tall and are in 5-gallon pots, which can be accommodated in most regular vehicles. In order to prevent soil from spilling in your vehicle, it is recommended that you bring a towel or tarp to contain the tree.
City staff will be on-site distributing the trees and will provide a tree-planting brochure specifically for the species purchased, advice about planting your tree, where to find additional supplies at local garden centres and respond to any tree-planting related questions. The event will proceed rain or shine.
