“Plan(T)” is a socially-engaged art project urging residents across Miami-Dade County to plant a salt-tolerant tree and an elevation-marked flag in their yard to symbolize and start preparing for the future of sea level rise. The plants will help sequester carbon dioxide and grow South Florida’s future salt-tolerant native tree canopy. The effort aims to facilitate climate conversations among residents, leading them to further action. Join the  effort by ordering this Plan(T) package and planting a salt-tolerant tree and flag in your front yard.

The Plan(T) Package includes a small white stick flag and your choice of salt-tolerant tree (either Seagrape or Gumbo-limbo). Package must be picked up at Pinecrest Gardens by appointment only – there is no delivery available.
