MSWCD Tree & Plant Program
Montgomery County Soil & Water Conservation District has begun accepting orders for its 2010 Tree & Plant Program. For the order form and list of plants, go to pages 2-5 of the January MCSWCD newsletter.
Each year, deciduous trees, flowering trees and shrubs, rain garden plants, nut trees, ground covers, ornamental grasses, evergreens, potted wildflowers and native plants are offered as a low-cost source of conservation plant materials which provide food and cover for wildlife.
Many, though not all of the plants available are natives. Quantities of some plants are limited, so the sooner you put your order in, the more likely you are to get what you want! Order forms (and check or money order) must be turned in by March 12, 2010. Packets (of plants) must be picked up either April 15 or 16, 2010, between 8 am and 5 pm.
For the exceptionally thrifty amongst you - keep your eyes peeled for “Springtime at the Market”, at the Second Street Market. Kristie Fisher, of Rush Creek Gardens CSA has worked with her mother for many years to bring LOTS of free bare-root saplings to the market each year to give away! This is ordinarily sometime in April. I’ll post this once I know the date and the Kristie has indeed secured trees!
