Lowe’s is giving away 500,000 free tree saplings for Earth Day.<\/p>\n
The free trees are part of the home improvement chain’s SpringFest event, which features free Garden-to-Go project kits\u00a0that can be\u00a0picked up curbside every Thursday in April. Depending on location, the saplings are pine and spruce varieties.<\/p>\n
Advance registration at Lowes.com\u00a0is required and opens up a week prior to the giveaway. At midnight ET Thursday, registration opens for\u00a0the free tree saplings that will be handed out on April 22.<\/p>\n
Consumers are advised to sign up early as the offer is while supplies last.<\/p>\n
SpringFest officially kicked off April 8, but registration for the first free kit launched April 1. Both weeks the reservations filled up fast.<\/p>\n
