January 22, 9 a.m. - 12 p.m. at BUMC

Our Creation Care ministry is partnering with Green Interchange to be a distribution site for their “Plant a Bigger Tree for Tennessee” initiative. Make a donation and receive a tree to plant in the location of your choosing! Reserve your tree by January 16.

Select from Green Interchange's wide selection, including Eastern Redbuds, White Dogwood, Autumn Blaze Maple, Gala Apple, or Santa Rosa Plum. You can also select for Green Interchange to plant the tree on your behalf.

Green Interchange has a goal to plant 3,497 acres with 4 million trees. This would offset nearly 3.3 billion pounds of CO2, not to mention have many other significant benefits to the environment.
