This year, our planting festival day will be on Saturday, March 23rd from 12 pm to 4 pm at the Overlook, 611 W 12th St. Bloomington, Indiana. This will be the day to pick up your reserved trees and shrubs.

The Neighborhood Planting Project is a group of volunteers in Indiana committed to supporting local growing, food autonomy, ecological restoration, and public beauty.

Over the past few years, we have given away over 15,000 trees, shrubs, and other native plants. Last year in Bloomington alone, we gave away and helped plant 1,500 trees in the Waterman, Maple Heights, Trailview, and Crestmont neighborhoods. In 2023, we’re continuing the project with a lineup of native, edible fruit and nut trees, including pecan, persimmon, hazelnut, elderberry, black cherry, aronia- and more. We're also planning to have another seedling and garden supply swap on our tree distribution day in Bloomington.

Fall 2022 —> We got a grant! Thanks to the IU Center for Rural Engagement, we're expanding our distribution this year.
