Buy a tree online at a heavily-discounted price and help grow our urban forest.
The Park Board tree sale has twenty-two varieties of trees available – fruit, flowering, shade, and conifer trees. You need to be a Vancouver resident to qualify.
Our tree sale is part of the first-ever Tree Week, April 2 to 10, and we expect it to become an annual tradition.
Our arborists selected these trees because they thrive in Vancouver’s diverse growing conditions and provide many benefits like food and pollination. The trees are worth about $75 each and aren't suitable for balconies or indoors.
You can buy up to three trees per household.

ever held and a great opportunity for you to do something positive for
the urban forest,” said Vancouver Park Board Chair Sarah Kirby-Yung. “We
