Arbor Day Program
Tree Seeding: In the spring, we plant seedlings at the City of Norfolk Nursery in the St Bride’s area of Chesapeake. They are grown there for a season until we give them away to the general public in the fall.
Tree Give-away: Trees are given away at several sites in the City on the First Saturday of October from 9am to 2pm. It is an opportunity to assist the general public and make them aware of the VCE, NMGV and the Norfolk Arbor Day Committee. Sites may include: Norfolk Botanical Gardens, Zoo , Five Points Community Market, Home Depot, Oceanview Hardware, Fred Heutte Center, Oakleaf Forest Community, AME Zion Church on Campostella Road.
