Do you want a street tree?
08/27/2013 8:58 AM by John M
Mark Kronenthal is taking suggestions for the Church Hill Planters’ 2013 Adopt-a-Tree application for street trees in the greater Church Hill area. If you know of a spot in Church Hill that could use a street tree, please email Mark at markkronenthal@gmail.com before noon on Thursday, August 29, 2013.
Your suggestion email should include the street address of the location, whether it has an existing empty tree well, whether there are utility lines above, and the name/email address/street address of the person who will water the tree. The Church Hill Planters can only cover the application fee for a limited number of trees, but they will try to accomodate as many requests as possible.
Mark,how about investing in some corner trash cans? The trees are pretty but it would be great to have some regular trash containers. Anybody who anonymously posts bigoted comments can just kiss my ass ahead of time ok?Your so called freedom of speech is just cowardice posing as relevance…..
Thanks to everyone for the responses. We’ve met the Planters’ budget. All new submissions will go on a wish list that may or may not get planted. If you want to be 100% sure to get a tree, you can submit your own application and fee by Friday:

Buddy,
I agree that trash cans are a great idea. I’m guessing they come from a different department/funding source in the City. Please post or email me some corners you think would be good spots and I’ll try to track down what it would take to get them installed. I know it took a neighbor a few City budget cycles to get one set up near me.
Can you adopt a cone, too 😉
If you want to adopt your own street tree for the Fall 2013-Spring 2014 planting season, you can submit your own application and fee by Sept 15 notwithstanding the Sept. 1 date in these links:
