Native Tree and Plant Sale

Every spring the Itasca SWCD conducts a native tree and plant sale to help promote the planting of native species and give landowners a convenient way to obtain their favorite plants.  We offer a variety of trees, shrubs, wildflowers, grasses and sedges.  The sale is held at the Itasca County Fairgrounds on the north side of Grand Rapids.  To be sure you get the plants of your choice please be sure to order ahead of time.  SWCD staff attend the sale and are available to answer any natural resource related questions regardless of whether you make a purchase or not.

We are now taking orders for the 2008 sale.  Follow the links below for information about the available plants and an order form.  All order forms must be received by April 2008.

Wondering about some of the benefits of planting native plants?  Below is a slide show on the benefits of planting native plants on your shoreline.
