The Root Ball

The Root Ball is the annual fundraiser for Greenscape of Jacksonville where we celebrate the end of tree planting season, and raise funds for future programming. Your support assists in the ongoing operation of one of the nation’s longest-running tree groups that has provided education, advocacy, and trees in the ground right here in our city for more than 49 years.

Annual Event

Greenscape Tree Giveaway

Greenscape is the official host of Jacksonville’s Arbor Day Celebration, held on a date set by Mayoral Proclamation.  Jacksonville celebrates Arbor Day in November, which is a great time of year to plant a tree, according to the Florida Forest Service.  Up to 2,000 trees are given away to the public at a drive-through event to raise awareness of the important role trees play in our lives, offer professional advice to homeowners, and to increase our urban canopy.  

Annual Event

Greenscape Tree Giveaway

Greenscape organizes Jacksonville’s official Arbor Day Celebration and schedules it on a date approved and designated each year by Mayoral Proclamation. The event changes venue annually to provide opportunities for all citizens to attend and participate. This event raises awareness of the important role trees play in our lives, offers professional advice to homeowners, and distributes free trees to increase our urban canopy.
