Arbor Day is back!
The event, which has given more than 10,000 plants to the people of Brossard since 2010, offers you the chance to reserve a tree, for only $10, of very good quality and size, starting August 6, 2025, at 12:30 p.m., while supplies last.
The city is thus pursuing its commitment to the environment with concrete gestures such as the offer of 200 new quality trees, at a reduced cost, to citizens, thus enabling us to continue our efforts to increase Brossard’s forest cover and help reduce heat islands.
Planting a tree means :
- Help improve air quality (smog reduction, carbon capture, oxygen production)
- Providing shelter and food for birds
- Controlling erosion and helping to manage rainwater
These visible and inspiring actions testify to a shared desire to build a resilient community that respects nature and looks to the future.

Eligibility criteria
- Citizens of Brossard only

- For multi-unit buildings (e.g. condos), citizens can register for one tree per occupancy unit. However, they themselves must obtain permission from the syndicate to plant a tree on their land.
Also, to ensure that the trees obtained through Arbor Day are planted in Brossard, on the participants’ land, the city will be carrying out verifications on this subject in the spring of 2026.
Please note that the city reserves the right to refuse applications that do not meet the eligibility criteria.
Make a concrete gesture to green YOUR city! Reserve your plant.

- Mulch;
- Shovel;
- Pruning shears;
- Mycorrhizae (optional; microscopic fungi that help roots absorb nutrients).

- Add soil, tamp gently and water thoroughly.
- Add a 2- to 3-inch layer of mulch. Mulch keeps the soil warm, prolonging rooting time and preventing frost-thaw heaving.
- Water as needed until frost to keep the soil moist, but never soggy, until the very end of the growing season.
- In spring: add fertilizer to feed your plant!
