Anyone seeking some more foliage for their yards need not look far, the City of Kelowna is offering up NeighbourWoods trees for only $40.
But time is running out for Kelowna residents, as the city has less than 100 trees left. They are of the Regal Prince Oak and Snowbird Hawthorn varieties and will be ready for pickup next month.
Applications can be found here and will be accepted until all the trees are sold.
The program is restricted to residents living in Kelowna and has a limit of one tree per household. It’s all part of the city’s strategy to grow Kelowna’s urban canopy.
Since 2010, the city has sold more than 2,100 discounted trees for planting.
Trees can be picked up on Saturday, April 25, at the Mission Recreation Park Arboretum (4105 Gordon Dr.) between 9:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. City staff will also be on hand to answer questions about gardening, tree health and maintenance, and will be conducting tree planting demonstrations.
