We’d love to see your planting photos! You can tag us on Facebook or Twitter – @CommonHomeIndy or send to mail@ourcommonhome.org.

We love tree planting not just for the reduction of carbon dioxide in the air, but the benefits of trees extending from creating spaces of peace and beauty in our communities to the attraction of wildlife!
