Annual Events
The events sponsored by the Greentree Neighborhood Organization are designed to build community, foster relationships with neighbors, but mostly - to have FUN!
It's the biggest event in the Greentree year! We pull out all the stops for July 4 and all the neighbors and invited to come on out and enjoy the fun!

Greentree Gallop
The July 4th Greentree Gallop is a two-mile fun run/walk. The course winds all through Greentree Neighborhood and is well-marked and safe. Come out to run or walk, or just step outside your door in the morning to cheer on the runners and show your support. The event is fun for everyone from the serious runner to the fifth grader running into middle school to the walker with a baby stroller. Fast or slow, young or old, come out for the fun!!
Prizes are awarded to winning contestants.

Neighbors Forum/Annual Meeting
The Greentree Garden Club and the Greentree Neighborhood Association have co-sponsored events in June for the past several years. Garden tours and some home owners shared their gardening experiences and know-how with tour participants. Professional gardeners were also on hand to answer questions and explain how they helped guide the development of the tour garden.
In the past and during even numbered years in May, the Garden Club held a plant sale, where club members thinned their beautiful gardens and offered the "extras" for sale to other neighbors.
The Annual Greentree Neighborhood Garage Sale is typically held in May, from 8:00 am – 3:00 pm on a Friday and Saturday.
GTNA will manage the website and post information on Social Media using a QR code to provide shoppers with a map of Greentree showing the location of all the sales.
Watch for more details in the February and April "Stump" Newsletters.
