Free Tree Class Helps Pilot Point Neighbors Plan for Shade

Rooted In’s free tree class offers homeowners near Pilot Point and Celina a chance to plan for shade before choosing what to plant.

The nursery lists Texas Trees: Branch Out with Shade & Beauty for Sunday, November 1, 2026, from 2–2:45 p.m., at 12804 Pelzel Road.

A tree that fits your space

Horticulturist and Rooted In co-founder Daniel Cunningham will discuss native and adapted trees, including shade trees, flowering varieties, evergreens and smaller options.

The program also covers placement, planting and care, according to the organizer.

For readers with a new yard or an established landscape, the practical question is what belongs in the space available.

Education close to home

Rooted In combines a nursery with landscape design and gardening education.

Its team biography describes Cunningham’s work with homeowners and civic groups on native landscapes, edible gardens and water efficiency.

The business is off FM 455 between Celina and Pilot Point, making the class an option for neighbors on either side of that stretch.
