City Tree Sale on Saturday at Ben Brenman Park

The City of Alexandria is holding a tree sale on Saturday with tree stewards and master gardeners on hand to field any questions about selection, planting and care.

The sale is from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Ben Brenman Park, 4800 Park Dr. as part of Alexandria's Earth Day festivities.

The goal of the sale is to promote the preservation of Alexandria’s tree canopy by encouraging the planting of trees on private property throughout the city. 

The city’s tree supplier, Denison Landscaping and Nursery of Ft. Washington, Md., will provide the same varieties of trees the city plants in five- to seven-gallon containers. Trees will be sold at below retail market prices.

Download the list of Available Trees for Purchase and email or call the city arborist to place your reservation.

Residents can reserve trees for purchase in advance through Apr. 27. No deposit is necessary.

To reserve a tree, call John Noelle, City Arborist, at 703-746-5499 or email john.noelle@alexandriava.gov. When making your tree purchase reservation, please provide a name, telephone number and type and quantities of the tree that you plan to purchase.

Advance tree orders may be picked up between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. on Saturday, Apr. 30. Reserved trees that are not picked up by 10 a.m. on the day of the sale will be made available to the public.

Patch will be at Ben Brenman Park on Saturday to celebrate Earth Day with the city. Look for our booth and we hope to see you there!
