The Monroe County Soil & Water Conservation District’s Annual Tree and Shrub Program is accepting orders through March 18, 2012. Proceeds from this sale go to support the conservation programs at the Monroe County Soil and Water Conservation District.
The district now offers more than 30 species of bare-root conifers, hardwood trees, shrubs and groundcovers, as well as seed mixes and other products used in conservation projects. Packages range in unit size and price, from a bundle of 10 plants for as low as $11, to bundles of 100 plants for an average cost of $84. Some of the new selections for this year are: Nannyberry, Black Walnut and Am. Cranberry. Options to meet planting needs include individual packs of 10 for tree and shrub species, as well as multi-packs that include two each of five different species, suitable for the suburban conservationist.
All plants are bare-root stock making them easier to transport and plant. This is a pre-order program and the deadline date for ordering is March 18.
