The Knox-Lincoln Soil & Water Conservation District Spring Plant Sale will be held Saturday, May 17, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., at Union Fairgrounds.

Plants have been chosen for their value as windbreaks, lakeshore buffers, bank stabilization, erosion control, and wildlife habitat – including songbirds, pollinators, and beneficial insects. Individual varieties were selected for productivity, pest and disease resistance, a variety of soil and light conditions – and to provide beauty and color in the home landscape from spring through fall. Many plants that are available are responsibly grown by Crystal Lake Farm & Nursery in Washington and from Rebel Hill Farm in Liberty.

Also available will be Backyard Compost Bin and Rain Barrel items, including Systern rain barrels, Earth Machine compost bins, compost turners and thermometers.
