Bazillion Blooms
Community-wide tree-planting and bare-root dogwood tree pick-up :: December 7, 2013 
Bazillion Blooms is a community-wide dogwood tree-planting program to beautify our East Tennessee communities, improve the health of our environment and foster community support and pride in our beloved native dogwood.
Our goal is to restore dogwoods to their former vitality in Knox and surrounding counties. Over the years, dogwoods have died out due to disease, development and neglect. Our dogwoods are battling to survive. In the last four years, more than 5,000 dogwood trees have been planted in East Tennessee through the Bazillion Blooms program!
While we’ve already taken our orders for bareroot dogwood trees, visit these participating garden centers for larger dogwood trees and other blooms to enrich your yard this spring :: Thress Nursery, Stanley’s Greenhouses, Mayo Garden Centers, and Ellenburg Landscaping & Nursery.
PURCHASE TREES FOR WINTER 2013 DISTRIBUTION & PLANTING DAY HERE!
For those of you who have purchased bareroot dogwood trees through our web site, please bring your receipt with you to the tree pick-up at UT Gardens between 9am and Noon on Saturday, December 7, 2013.
Not quite sure how to plant or care for bareroot dogwood trees – other than you know you need to plant in December and that they need water?
