Knox-Lincoln Soil & Water Conservation District’s 2024 Spring Plant Sale Catalog is now available in print and online. Plants are available for pre-order, either online or by mail through Tuesday, April 16, 2024. The Conservation District is offering curbside pick-up of your orders on Friday, May 10 and Saturday, May 11, and “Cash and Carry” on Saturday, May 11 at Union Fairgrounds. Quantities are limited.

This annual spring fundraiser provides more than 180 varieties to choose from: bareroot fruit trees and berries for the home orchard and garden; native conifers, deciduous trees, shrubs and vines for conservation, wildlife, and landscape enhancement; and native, organic, Maine-grown perennials and herbs in 1-gallon pots for pollinators. The plant list includes new varieties in all categories and returning favorites. As always, the print catalog offers descriptions of the plants and cultural requirements to aid in choosing the right plant for the right place. Plant care fact sheets are available on our website.

The proceeds of this fundraiser support youth and adult conservation programs throughout the year. Knox-Lincoln SWCD is dependent on volunteers to help pack orders and distribute to customers. Volunteers receive some perks as a thank you for helping with the District’s largest annual fundraiser. If interested, please contact louisa@knox-lincoln.org.
