We are excited to announce that Charlie Proutt and Eileen Schilling, owners of Horsford Gardens & Nursery in Charlotte, are once again offering trees to schools in Addison and Chittenden counties. Up to 10 schools are eligible for one tree each.

Participating schools must agree to:

• Plant the tree as part of a classroom program or school-wide event.
• Pick-up the tree at Horsford's in Charlotte. They will show you how to safely unload the tree.

• Maintain the tree into the future.

Horsford Gardens & Nursery will provide:

• One balled-and-burlapped or containerized tree suitable for the site.
