The Plant and Seedling Sale is ONLY by Pre-Order again in 2023!

Curbside pick-up has made the sale run much smoother, especially with the increased demand in recent years, and will continue. A few extra plants may be available during the sale for those interested, but make sure to place an order for anything you want!

Pickup/Sale days are April 21 & 22
Pre-Orders are due by April 5! Exception – Bare-Root Evergreen Tree Seedlings – orders were due March 13, there are still some available to order, while supplies last!
We encourage you to order as soon as possible, as supplies are limited!
Please Note: Due to the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic, and increase in demand in recent years, we are maintaining expanded pick-up hours, staggering pick-ups as much as possible, providing curb-side service, and limiting the “sale” to a simple pre-order pick-up. We will provide updates if anything changes, and will send out our usual reminder postcards with further information.
