Days & Seasons Planting Habits: monthly events and calendar
Find seasonal, national, and international Planting Habits such as Earth Day, Women’s Day, Green Friday, New Year, Valentine’s Day, and Christmas Trees.
Tree-Nation’s former Monthly Campaigns are now organized as Planting Habits.
Instead of joining a campaign, you now choose a Habit, plant under its hashtag, and contribute to the shared impact shown on the Habit page.
The best place to find seasonal and event-based Habits is the Days & Seasons section on the main Habits page.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I find the monthly planting events?
Go to the main Habits page and scroll to the Days & Seasons section.
Do I need to wait for the exact date to plant?
No. You can usually plant under a Habit before, during, or after the related date.
However, the strongest moment for communication is usually close to the event itself.
Can companies use these Habits for customer or employee gifts?
Yes. Days & Seasons Habits are useful for employee gifts, client gifts, customer engagement, event communication, and CSR initiatives.
Can I plant every year under the same Habit?
Yes. Many Days & Seasons Habits are ideal for yearly repetition.
For example, you can plant every Earth Day, every Women’s Day, every Green Friday, or every Christmas season.
Should I create my own Habit for a seasonal event?
Usually, no.
If an existing Habit already matches the occasion, it is better to use that Habit. This lets your trees join a larger movement and contribute to the shared impact.
Create a new Habit only if your initiative is specific and no existing Habit fits.
Can I automate seasonal planting?
Depending on the Habit and available Actions, you may be able to set up recurring or automated planting.
For example, you may be able to plant every year for Earth Day, gift trees on birthdays, or plant for every order during a seasonal sales period.
