Here’s a great way to kick off the tree planting season – with a HUGE free tree store at one of Charlotte’s coolest new spots, Camp North End. At this TreesCharlotte free store, presented by Novant Health, we'll have a lot of everything, from evergreens to flowering trees to mighty oaks and maples. Proof of Charlotte residency (license, water bill, etc.) will get you two free trees and two bags of mulch. Every recipient must attend a tree-planting clinic and sign a stewardship pledge.
During the store, the Kiwanis of Charlotte will host the Under the Canopy Chili Cookoff, where teams compete for the chili championship. A $5 donation will get you into the event and let you sample all of the chilis. A portion of proceeds benefits TreesCharlotte education programming in CMS schools.
