TREE SPREE
SATURDAY, November 2nd
Clegg’s Siegen Lane location ONLY
8am to 1pm
Baton Rouge Green and Clegg’s Nursery have teamed up for the third annual TREE SPREE, just in time for Louisiana tree planting season, which runs from December through February.
- Clegg’s will be stocked up with the hard-to-find native trees and shrubs that Baton Rouge Green experts encourage citizens to use in their landscapes, such as Sweet Bay Magnolia, PawPaw, Swamp Red Maples, and many varieties of fruit-bearing trees and shrubs.
- Clegg’s will donate 20% of the proceeds of all “Baton Rouge Green Approved” tagged trees back to the organization.
- Baton Rouge Green tree and plant experts will also be on hand to answer questions, talk with shoppers, and help them find the “right tree for the right place” in their yard.
