Our 2024 tree seedling giveaway is Monday, April 22

Louisville Gas and Electric Company and Kentucky Utilities Company will join other local Earth Day activities across the state by giving away free tree seedlings again this year.

We’re giving away Eastern redbuds (Cercis canadensis) tree seedlings on Monday, April 22, at selected business offices. The locations include the following:

Kentucky Utilities General Office
One Quality Steet
Lexington, KY 40507

Kentucky Utilities Versailles Office
250 Crossfield Drive
Versailles, KY 40383

Kentucky Utilities Greenville Office
380 Airport Road
Greenville, KY 42345

Customers may pick up two free seedlings beginning at 9 a.m. Giveaways will take place until the seedling supply lasts, usually before noon. These seedlings are small and thin; only a couple feet long, and easy to plant.

The giveaway program is one way our company supports the Call Before You Dig (811) initiative and encourages planting native trees in appropriate locations through The Right Tree in The Right Place program.

Since 1981, LG&E and KU have provided more than $650,000 in tree-planting grants and tree seedling giveaways to customers, contributing more than 1 million trees to the communities we serve and helping grow a more sustainable Kentucky for generations to come.
