Organize a Planting
INSTITUTIONAL LANDHOLDERS AND NEIGHBORHOOD PLANTINGS
Anyone can request plantings from us! Plantings are 100% free of charge to you. If you live in a neighborhood, or are a school, place of worship, non-profit, or other business in Bloomington, please look at our Priority Planting Map to find if your property is within a high-, moderate-, or low-priority area.
