Take Home Trees to Plant

Several local nurseries will have many varieties of trees on-site for sale.  Shrubs and flowers will be on hand, too.  It’s planting season!

Foliage Fest includes tree planting, pruning and mulching demonstrations and experts on-site to answer your tree questions.

Arts and Crafts

We will have lots of exhibitors with products, crafts and services related to hand-made natural crafts, gardening, tree care and maintenance, conservation, environmental or community education.  

Your Support Makes a Difference

This event was founded and is organized by the Jefferson Heritage Tree Council for the purpose of helping maintain a healthy tree canopy through tree planting and communicating the importance of trees.   Trees are a great investment in your community because they’re proven to help moderate surface temperatures, improve air quality, prevent soil erosion and protect water quality.  Purchasing and planting trees is a sound investment, adding to the value of your home.  Trees reduce the energy you use in heating (because they provide wind break) and cooling (due to their shade).  The area under a shade tree is often 10 degrees or more lower than out in full sun. Trees enhance wildlife habitat and simply make our communities better in many, many ways.
