The Anoka Conservation District is now accepting preorders for the annual tree and shrub sale until mid-April 2017. The District offers a wide variety of native stock, including black cherry trees, mixed oak trees, red maple trees, and white pine trees. The trees and shrubs are sold in bare root seedlings or transplants and are approximately 10" to 18" in height. They may be purchased in bundles of ten for $17, or twenty-five for $30 not including tax. Native prairie seed and tree aides are also available.
If you are interested, go online and check out the Anoka Conservation District website at www.AnokaSWCD.org. Once there, go to Tree and Shrub Sale information to find out more about the sale. The website also contains information about the kinds of trees and shrubs to plant in your particular situation along with planting directions. If you would prefer, you may talk directly to Anoka Conservation District staff by calling 763-434-2030, extension 10.
Orders are being accepted until mid-April or until the supply is depleted and will be available for pick up the morning of the last Saturday in April (April 29th) at the Anoka County Fairgrounds. Please order early to guarantee availability.
