Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

ArboBlitz 2023

Students in red shirts work together to plant a tree on a cloudy day

Phale D. Hale Drive Columbus, Ohio 43203

“The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.” 

Do you want to make a lasting legacy by planting a tree? Help the Chadwick Arboretum & Learning Gardens plant up to 20 large trees in under 3 hours in collaboration with the Ohio State University's Facilities, Operations and Development team, the Wexner Medical Center, The Tree Advisory Committee, and Columbus Recreation and Parks Department.

This year, ArboBlitz will take place at the Wexner Medical Center East Hospital on Phale D. Hale Drive. You do not need to know how to plant trees to participate - we will teach you! Bring a water, closed-toe shoes, and weather-appropriate clothing that can get a little dirty - this event is rain or shine!

More information will be sent to those who RSVP the week before the event. Please recruit your friends and family to join too - everyone who plants a tree will receive a free Buckeye Tree botanical print from our Emmanuel Rudolph Collection!

DATE:            Friday, October 27, 2023

TIME:            1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.

More parking information will be added here soon.
