Spring Seedling Ordering Is Closed
Thank you for your interest in our free seedlings. The spring ordering window is now closed. All orders placed by April 23rd will be filled in the order they were received.
WE DO NOT PROVIDE ORDER UPDATES. YOU WILL BE CONTACTED WHEN YOUR ORDER IS READY FOR PICK-UP.
If you e-mailed your order on April 23rd or prior and haven’t heard from us, never fear. We are diligently working through our list. WE WILL BE IN TOUCH WHEN WE GET TO YOUR ORDER. DO NOT request order updates. We do not have staff to cover such inquiries while we are in the field working on orders and this only slows down the process. We will reach out to you when your order is ready for pickup.
Pick-up will be arranged by phone or email.
We do not offer delivery.
Pick-up will be at one of 2 locations in Fairfax County.
Why does it take so long to get my order?
We are in the field a great deal during the spring and fall. Bundling orders for individuals is just one of many things we do. Other events ReLeaf runs include plantings with volunteers, invasive removal, and distributions with companies and Supervisors’ offices. On the days ReLeaf is running these events, we cannot be bundling orders for individual distributions.
Unlike a commercial nursery we do not have set hours with one location. We bundle seedling orders at our cooler location. We do not have the staff to be at this location every day bundling.
Every order is different – bundling cannot be done by assembly line. Each order is specifically bundled for that person. This system is great for getting specific trees and shrubs to you, but does require a little more patience. We really do want you to get your order.
Thank you again for your patience. We will be reaching out as soon as we get to your order in the queue.
