2. Order Your Tree(s)
Order your trees directly through us. 15-gallon shade trees are $125.
This amount includes stakes and support straps (if needed), delivery the day before planting, and a team of Ojai Trees volunteers to plant it for you!
3. Sit Back and Relax (or Jump in and Plant!)
After purchase, we will let you know our next planting day; we strive to schedule two in Spring and two in Fall.
The day before planting, we will deliver your tree and all necessary materials.
Planting day, our team of volunteers will arrive and leave you with a beautiful new tree!
What is included?
Tree dedications go towards trees planted in public parks, schools, and other special places in the Ojai Valley. We send a dedication card to the recipient picturing an original painting by Ojai's own TOPA Group of plein air artists.
You can provide your name and personal message. Dedications are a wonderful way to honor birthdays, anniversaries, and other milestones, as well as the memory of loved ones who have passed.
Dedications
How much does a dedication cost?
Dedications start at $50, and you can have a tree planted for $125.
Can I choose a location?
All dedication donations go towards trees planted in the Ojai Valley. We do not place markers or identifiers on trees. If you would like to plant a memorial tree on private property, we can help you here. We do invite our tree dedicators and recipients to participate in our tree planting and tree care events. We would love to see you there!
Ojai Trees is a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization. Your donations are fully tax-deductible and make our work possible. Your generous donation will help with planting and caring for more trees in the Ojai Valley's community forest. Pick the level of your gift, and we'll put it to work for a greener future!
