Semi-Annual Tree Sale

Purchase a native tree from the Springfield Parks Foundation!

It's time for the semi-annual native tree sale to benefit the Springfield Parks Foundation!

We have two sizes of trees this year.

You can purchase a native tree to be planted at a Springfield area park or a tree to grow in your yard. Trees are expected to arrive in October. 

The trees available for purchase are all native to the Central Illinois area, with a variety of shade and flowering trees.  Your donation goes to support the Springfield Parks Foundation. Our work is to support and improve our Springfield area parks. 

The trees will all be purchased from Forrest Keeling Nursery.
