About the annual sale

More trees please
Planting native tree species can mean more than just landscaping in your yard. Many conifers and shrubs can be used to create natural windbreaks. The berries of native shrubs will attract pollinators and birds, and many can be used to create unique jams and treats in the kitchen. In time, many tree species can be harvested for lumber and other food products as a source of income. The breathtaking colors of deciduous trees provide variety and color to fall landscapes.
Native Plant Sale
Native perennials are a great choice for many landscaping projects. Colorful blooms provide habitat for desirable wildlife like pollinators and songbirds. Deep, extensive root systems can prevent soil erosion, protect water quality and promote infiltration.
