Do you have room in your garden for another tree? Or perhaps you don’t have any trees in your garden and you think it’s time to plant one.

Now’s the perfect time to do it. And Vancouver Park Board is making it a whole lot easier by offering residents 3,000 trees at a bargain price of $10 each as part of the city’s plan to get 150,000 trees planted by 2020 in a bid to “replenish the urban forest” and make Vancouver one of the greenest cities in the world.

This is the third time the park board has made this offer. Featuring 27 varieties of trees, the sale will be held Oct. 1 and 2. Residents are encouraged to place orders online and then pick up their tree/trees at the Hillcrest Community Centre, 4575 Clancy Loranger Way Vancouver.

“These sales are critical to us getting trees into the hands of private citizens to support our goals of 150,000 new trees planted in Vancouver by 2020,” says Margo Harper, spokesperson for the park board
