Tree deliveries will occur Monday to Friday (excluding holidays) throughout the month of April, weather permitting. Once your order has been scheduled, you will receive an email to provide you with additional details. 

Please note: 

• Seedlings will be delivered, at no charge, to the end of your driveway in rural areas. In urban areas we will try to place your seedlings closer to a building (e.g. garage). 
• Green Legacy staff will make every attempt to place seedlings in a shady spot and away from the road where possible. Our drivers will be in large vehicles, often towing trailers full of trees, and need to keep a timely schedule. Unfortunately, we are unable to pull in driveways for alternate delivery spots.  
• Tree deliveries typically begin in the South end of Wellington County, working towards the North. This allows us to provide trees to customers in the warmest areas first, where the weather is more appropriate for planting earlier in the season.

Orders of 500+ trees have the option of asking for planting assistance. The Green Legacy may be able to pair you with a local school group to help plant all your trees. These orders may also be eligible for upgrades to potted stock. 

Landowners will be required to provide proof of insurance, minimum $2 Million liability coverage.  For more information please contact the Community Outreach Coordinator.

Request Planting Assistance on your tree order if you are interested.

Online tree orders are accepted October 1st to March 1st.

It is recommended that you order early for best selection as we receive many orders in the first hour.  We do our best to fulfill all species and quantities requested, however they are not guaranteed. 

Green Legacy trees are grown from locally collected seeds.  The quantities and diversity of species available is affected by nature.  We do our best to grow and distribute stock appropriately among all Programme participants.

Seedlings are on average 15-40 cm tall and can vary in size depending on species. 

Trees must be planted in Wellington County.  Provided they are on your own property, you are free to plant the trees wherever you like. Keep in mind that some places are generally inappropriate to plant such as on septic beds or under power lines.

If some seedlings are unavailable, you’ll be placed on a waiting list.  If there are unclaimed trees at the end of distribution, you will be notified if we can offer any of the species missing from your request. 

Mulch mats are coconut fibre mats placed at the base of a seedling to protect against competition and retain moisture. Rodent guards are plastic wraps around tree trunks to protect against rodent damage. Both are available for $1.50 each plus tax and all sales are final.
