Q: I have a large pine straw island in the back of my property and I plan to plant several pine trees and maybe some bushes in between. Is there any place where I can get free tree seedlings?

A: You can get inexpensive seedlings from the Georgia Forestry Commission (1- 800-GATREES). Orders are taken after July 1 for delivery to local Forestry Commission offices for pickup in December. More details at bit.ly/GAtrees.
