Mulch Madness

  • The Neighborhood Tree Nursery - Arboretum Detroit 3300 Farnsworth Detroit, MI, 48211 United States (map)


Play on Team Tree this tournament season. Arboretum Detroit is playing the long game, and winning. It’s a slow motion contest. Make an assist today by mulching some trees and ensuring they thrive into the deep future. Who will be standing in 100 years, 500 years, 2,000 years? We can help decide and pay it forward way beyond us.

Which arboretum trees will win the ultimate love and attention of their human friends this season? Come out and see as 500 trees compete to be the most cared for and loved trees in the arboretum. We have tons of mulch to spread generously ensuring that all our trees have a healthy and stress free summer. This means your trees too. Come and take some mulch for your friends at home. Bring some buckets or bags to fill.

Get a workout with other tree people running wheelbarrows full of fine, fresh, fragrant mulch to the trees and paths of the arb. Connect with the Earth and the trees to remind your soul of a future that goes way past four years. Help this White Pine thrive for the next 80 years,  this Oak the next 200 years, this Giant Sequoia the next 1000 years
