Note:
The plants we sell are conservation grade plants. Most of them will be bareroot stock that will fit in a large bag and will easily fit in your car. No truck or trailer needed.
Brokered stock are contracted out and grown elsewhere. Brokered stock are usually "plugs" or 4" pots that are shipped to the PMC.
All the plants are kept in the cold storage at the PMC until pick-up day. We don't know the actual size or condition of the plants until we pack orders for pick-up.
About our Plants:
Every year, the Conservation District purchases a large order of conservation grade plants from the Plant Materials Center (PMC) to sell at our annual plant sale. Conservation grade is based on survivability, not on looks. They come as bareroot stock, small container stock, or plugs.
Purpose of the Plant Sale:
The purpose of the plant sale is to promote natural resource conservation by providing quality, conservation-grade native plants at wholesale prices. These plants are beautiful, hardy, and serve a purpose in conservation projects such as erosion control, riparian restoration, reforestation, backyard habitat enhancement, wetland restoration and wildfire mitigation. Proceeds from the plant sale help fund youth education efforts.
This sale is self-supporting. Our staff and volunteers work very hard to make the sale run as smoothly and seamlessly as possible for our customers. Each year holds new challenges, and we do our best to adjust and accommodate for them. The Conservation District welcomes suggestions on how we can improve the process on sale days- don't hesitate to reach out! Thanks for your support!

Bareroot Plant Storage
Prior to packing, the plants are held in cold storage at about 34°F. Once the plants have been repacked, they begin to break dormancy and should be planted within about 3 days.
Package and handling
Packaged plants should be kept out of the sun, in a cool place. Plants should not be kept packaged for extended periods of time and should be planted or potted up as soon as possible.
How big are the plants?
Your plants will be bare root. This means they will not be coming in a pot, but rather a compact bundle that will be packed in a convenient bag for travel. You shouldn't need a trailer or even a truck to pick up your order! The bundles are more compact than most people expect, since they are bare root.
Returns and Changes
All sales are final. We do not accept product returns or changes. If you have placed an order and would like more plants, please place another order. If we cannot fill part of your order due to a shortage from the nursery, a plant substitution or refund will be offered.
Plant Mortality
We do not offer any guarantee regarding the survival of the plants. Generally, you can expect about 10-20% plant mortality, however this can vary depending on how plants are handled after pick-up, site conditions, and species. For best survival please visit our native plant page.
*Once the plants have been repacked, they begin to break dormancy and should be planted within about 3 days. Plants not picked up on the day of sale will be donated to local agencies and non-profit organizations for the benefit of the public. No refunds will be issued for plant orders not picked up.*
What if the plants are sold out?
Please let us know if there were plants you hoped to get from us. We will keep that in mind for future sales.
