City Hosts Tree Sale to Encourage Robust Alexandria Tree Canopy

The city's Urban Forestry section will hold a tree sale on Oct. 20 from 8 a.m. to noon at the Trinity Methodist Church, 2911 Cameron Mills Rd.

The sale seeks to promote the preservation of Alexandria’s tree canopy by encouraging the planting of trees on private property throughout the city.

Denison Landscaping and Nursery of Fort Washington, Md., will provide a variety of trees, shrubs and annuals that are hardy and successful in this area. Trees and shrubs are sold in three- to seven-gallon containers designed to make it easy for residents to handle and plant.
