🌼 NEW for 2026: Native Plant Bundles! 🌼

We’re excited to introduce four native plant bundles to this year’s Tree Sale!
Each bundle includes five quart-sized native perennial plants selected to support bees, butterflies, and other essential native pollinators.

🌱 Why native plants?
Native plants feed and shelter native pollinators — and those pollinators keep our food web, ecosystems, and agriculture thriving. By planting natives, you’re directly supporting local wildlife and the health of our working landscapes.

These bundles are limited… and they will go fast. Order early!
