Tree at Last

Free Trees

That ain’t working, that’s the way you do it.

You steal the Splenda for your coffee and tea.

Yeah, that ain’t working. That’s the way you do it. You want money for nothing and your trees for free.

Which is why you were attracted to the DWP’s Trees for a Green L.A. program in the first place. It’s definitely a fast, free way to beautify your yard — even renters can get that Southern magnolia they’ve been after if their landlords sign off.

All you have to do is complete the hour-long neighborhood workshop (or a quick, easy twenty-minute online session) and you can get up to seven deciduous or evergreen trees delivered to your doorstep for zero dollars. Then simply plant, water, and enjoy your newfound vegetation.

And sing along: I got my, I got my, I got my free shade tree.
