There are two parks programs that may be
of interest to City of Orlando residents who would like a tree for their

Trees In
The Parkway is available to individual homeowners for free. Trees are
planted in the Parkway (right-of-way) along the City street. The City
determines most appropriate tree for location, and the owner must agree to
water, feed and care for the tree until established.

Good Homes program is dedicated to greening the property of homeowners
