Pick Your Plants

Woods Rose has fragrant pink flowers
in the summer, and rosehips in the fall.
The Native Plant Sale ordering deadline is almost here!  If you’re still deciding which plants are right for you check out our 2013 Plant Brochure. Friday February 15th is the deadline for this year’s plant sale. We haven’t run out of anything yet, but some things are going faster than others!
There are many benefits to planting native trees and shrubs. Native plants are adapted to the local environment and so they generally require less maintenance than exotic or ornamentals. Because native plants do so well in our area you can expect to spend substantially less time and money worrying about irrigating and fertilizing. Many of the species offered in this year’s sale are both drought and fire tolerant! They also provide more benefits to wildlife. Native plants provide the types of food and shelter that our local critters both need and want.
Plants are available as bare root stock, meaning they do not come in containers or burlap bags. They are harvested in winter when the plants are dormant and arrive ready to be replanted in your landscape. Plants are sold on a first-come, first-served basis and quantities are limited. A minimum 50% deposit is required to hold your order. Fully prepaid orders are appreciated. We are sorry, but we are unable to accept credit cards at this time. Visit our website for more details and an Order Form.

All orders must be received by February 15, 2013.

Plants will be distributed at the Stemilt Growers Warehouse in north Wenatchee on Saturday, April 6, 2013 from 10am-1pm. A map to the pick-up site will be sent to you along with a reminder as the pick-up date approaches. Please be aware that any unclaimed plants will be considered abandoned and used for conservation projects. There are no refunds for plant orders not picked up.
