Dogwood Arts is on a mission to Keep Knoxville Blooming––one tree at a time. Through its annual Bazillion Blooms program, disease-resistant dogwood trees are on sale now at dogwoodarts.com or by phone at 865-637-4561 through November
18th. These 2’ – 4’ bare-root trees are available for $25 each or five for $100. Tree pick-up day and
community-wide tree planting date is set for Saturday, December 7th.
Planting trees is a simple and effective way to clean our air, reduce stress, and conserve the
environment. We encourage everyone to ‘dig-in’ and make a lasting difference by planting trees during
the fall gardening season. Trees planted in the fall have time to develop strong root systems over the
winter months before the challenges of the drying summer heat.
The Bazillion Blooms program began in 2009 with a mission to revitalize tree plantings along our
historic Dogwood Trails and throughout the region. Last year, Dogwood Arts reached our goal of adding
10,000 dogwood trees to East Tennessee’s landscape in just 10 years through the Bazillion Blooms
program, ensuring our region’s spring beauty will continue well into the future.
Larger blooming trees, flowering shrubs, bulbs, and perennials are available at these participating
Garden Centers: Ellenburg Landscaping & Nursery, Mayo Garden Centers, Northshore Nursery,
Stanley’s Greenhouse & Wilson Fine Gardens.
Trees ordered from Dogwood Arts must be picked up on Saturday, December 7th, from 9AM-12PM at
the UT Gardens off Neyland Drive. Trees will not be distributed at a later time or date.
Dogwood Arts, presented by ORNL Federal Credit Union, is a 501(c)3 organization with a mission is to
promote and celebrate our region’s art, culture, and natural beauty.
