Keep Texarkana Beautiful will host its 12th Annual Arbor Day tree giveaway at a new location this year, according to an announcement from the City of Texarkana, Texas.
The event will take place Saturday, March 7, from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. in the Home Depot parking lot near the Garden Center. The giveaway will end at 10 a.m. or when all seedlings have been distributed.
The City of Texarkana, Texas, Keep Texarkana Beautiful, Texas A&M Forest Service, and Bowie and Miller County Master Gardeners are partnering to distribute 1,000 bare root seedlings to the public. Volunteers will bring the seedlings to participants’ vehicles in a drive-through format.
