SWCD Native Plant Sale Opens

Spring blooms, shade on a sunny summer day, crisp fall colors; trees are the essence of our seasons and their growth is the benchmark of passing time. The Hamilton County Soil and Water Conservation District recognizes the value of trees in our community and is making quality native tree and shrub stock available via their annual native tree and shrub fundraiser.  New this year, a selection of native flowers and vines are also available.

Over forty species of trees and shrubs are available in 3-gallon containers for just $30 each. 1-gallon flowers are $12.50.  Pre-orders are required before September 19th. Orders can be picked up Friday September 27th in Noblesville. Details on species and growing conditions, as well as online ordering, are available at www.hamiltonswcd.org.

This tree sale focuses on species native to Indiana. These trees are uniquely suited to our soil and weather but most importantly, they are uniquely suited to support our wildlife- especially birds, insects, and other pollinators. Three-gallon trees are a great choice as they are easy to maneuver and plant, economical, and will grow quickly. In addition to native trees, fifteen-gallon watering bags are also available in this year’s sale.  The tree sale is the district’s largest annual fundraiser. All proceeds go back into conservation and education in Hamilton County.
