🌳 Tennessee Tree Day 2027 Comes to Dunlap and Pikeville – Reserve Native Seedlings Now

The Sequatchie Valley Master Gardeners is helping residents across the northern valley secure native bare-root seedlings for Tennessee Tree Day this spring. With reservation links now open for both Dunlap and Pikeville, the March event offers a chance for valley gardeners and landowners to plant trees suited to the region’s climate and soil.

📅 Event Details and Dates

Tennessee Tree Day runs March 19-20, 2027, organized by the Tennessee Environmental Council. The Sequatchie Valley Master Gardeners is coordinating local pickup and distribution at two valley locations: Dunlap and Pikeville. Residents can reserve their seedlings online through dedicated reservation links for each site. 🌱

🌿 Native Tree Selection

The 2027 seedling lineup includes ten native species well-suited to the Sequatchie Valley and surrounding region:

• American beautyberry
• American elderberry
• American plum
• Flowering dogwood
• Eastern redbud
• Pawpaw
• Red maple
• Shadblow serviceberry
• Shortleaf pine
• White oak

Native trees support local wildlife, require less maintenance once established, and are naturally adapted to valley soil and weather patterns. ✨

💡 How to Reserve

Reservations opened November 5 and are available online. Residents in the Dunlap area and Pikeville can each access their local reservation link to secure seedlings before the March event. Early reservation ensures availability of preferred species. 🎯
