Native Tree and Shrub Giveaway 2024 – Order Today Before Supply Is Gone!

Our 3rd Annual Native Tree and Shrub Giveaway will be held on Sunday, April 21 near Earth Day/Arbor Day. The order form is now open! After Easter, we will open this form to the wider Xavier community and supply will go quickly.  So, check out the 28 species of trees and shrubs we have available to support our local ecosystem and order today! 

Wondering which plant is right for you?  Here’s a short clip from parishioner Tim Kloppenborg and University Horticulturalist Karen McCabe on How to Select and Site a Tree or Shrub. Really want to go deep into your research?  Parishioner Florence Niklewski, a local Master Gardener, has prepared a full page write up on each species with images! Check out that folder here.  This is a joint effort of Bellarmine Chapel and Xavier University’s Tree Campus USA initiative.
